Welcome Back!


It seems like yesterday that we were saying goodbye for the summer. A few weeks of playing in the sun has now past and we are ready for a new school year. Charged up and ready to take the leap to the high school. I am excited to return to school this year and very excited for all of the possibilities this year can bring! This is going to be a great year that will be full of new experiences and feelings.

This year, you and your parents will use this website to stay connected to what is going on in class. In addition to this site, you will also use Edmodo.com. You should go there and sign up for an account now...infact, it is your homework for the first night of school.
Your homework’s will be posted on edmodo; you will have assignments, schedules, movies to preview, etc on this site. You should visit this site once a day at least. In class I will announce any changes to the site, but you must still pay attention to the directions given in class as well as the site.

If for any reason, you do not have access to the website from home, there are multiple opportunities to view the site in school, at the library, or at a friend’s house.

Also, you may want to take this opportunity to join the Google group that I set up for this class. The address is here. This is a place where we can have discussion, or I can answer questions for a larger group through the discussion board.

Your freshman year really sets the tone for what you are going to do here for the next four years. Come in focused and ready to learn and you will succeed. See you on Tuesday!
