Attention Regarding School Closure!!!

Hello students,

For the foreseeable future this class will be conducted online in Canvas. All new assignments will be on 4th quarter grade. We will not be doing starters. All bookwork assignments will be a lot like we did in class. Rather than using books, I have attached a PDF (scan) of each chapter for you to read. Instead of the blue paper chapter study guides, you will download the study guide, fill it out with your answers and upload your completed assignment in Canvas. Videos will be similar. I will only assign videos that are available on YouTube. The video guide will be right there in the Canvas assignment for you to download, fill out as you watch the video and then upload to me through Canvas when you are done. If you have any problems or concerns, please email me and we can work it out.

Regarding 3rd quarter grades. There will be NO new assignments added to 3rd quarter. I am throwing out your Ch 13 & 14 Quiz AND the Unit 4 Test. If you have any make up work completed for 3rd quarter but not turned in, take a photo of each page and email it directly to my school email. I am extending your 3rd quarter grade cutoff to Thursday March 26th at 3 PM. DO NOT bring work to the school, I will be working remotely after Tuesday March 17th. All submissions must be through my school email (for 3rd quarter make up) or Canvas for all new/4th Quarter assignment. Good luck and don't hesitate to contact me via email as needed.
