Good afternoon, everyone.

This week is almost over. By tomorrow, I am hoping to have established contact with all parents and students. Parents, if you are in touch with others who have students in my class, please ask them to reach out to me if they haven’t already done so. Students, tell your friends to log into their district or FreshGrade accounts. If you have parents who haven’t already e-mailed me, please remind them to do so. It is very important that everyone is aware of all that is happening as we move forward.

Speaking of all that is happening, please rest assured that while these first few updates have been long, I am doing my very best to ensure that the learning to come is as straight forward, uncomplicated, and as easy to manage as possible. Once we have all connected and everyone is aware of the plan, fewer updates should be necessary. Thank you for bearing with me through this first initial set-up and connection process.

Tomorrow, I plan on posting the first assignment to this blog by 3PM. I will provide a link here through FreshGrade. It will be a short writing piece, which I hope students will be able to post to their FreshGrade account by Monday. Please be on the lookout for it.

Have a great evening, and take care.
