Inspiring Personal Excellence
September 4, 2020
Message from AUGS
Thank you for your hard work as we kicked this school year off in remote learning. We miss seeing the students and staff in the building but we will make the best of our current reality as we continue to make improvements in our programing. We encourage students to continue reaching out to their teachers through Google classroom, during their Zoom/Google meetings, Success class and office hours.
Student Work
Graphic Arts: Mr. Fogelson - During this week's sketch assignment, students created artworks in which they were able to choose what they wanted to create. Many of these students were able to utilize a stylus on their iPad Sketches School app to gain better results. Artwork: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Interactive ELA: Mrs. Clark - The students needed to write out directions as to how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The assignment is to help the students understand the need for detail in their creative writing such as a short story. They needed to have someone make their sandwich to see if their directions were specific enough for someone to follow. If they would want, the students could make a video and share the video with the class. Video

iPad tips for students
Check your ehallpass account for appointment passes from teachers. Students can also use ehallpass to request a pass to one of their current teachers to get extra help during success class and/or office hours.

Zoom/Google Meetings
Please be mindful of any background noise, the items visible in the background and the vitrual backgrounds being used when your child is in a zoom session (your personal work calls, TV, household noises, etc.).We encourage students to leave their cameras on to:
- help create a connection between the students and staff
- provide a more realistic classroom environment for your student
- help all students interact with each other when they are in small groups and are having a discussion
- help staff gauge the level of engagement of the students
