Building Classroom Relationships with Your Teachers and Peers
Just as when you are in person, seeing a face helps us connect with one another. If any of you are worried about how you look on camera, please know that we are all beautifully designed individuals.
Go for it! Post a profile picture of yourself that meets school guidelines, log in to zoom and turn your camera on so your teacher and classmates can connect with you, and don't forget the awesome backgrounds you can use! See you soon! 😊
Second Semester Here We Come!
Second semester (T3) and Third Quarter (R3) will begin January 19th 2021.
Get Organized Month
Would you say that you are organized? Can you find your school work easily? Do you use a calendar, labels, or folders and binders?
Get organized month was established in 2005 by the Association of Professional Coordinators. Get Organized month is observed the month of January every year to increase awareness about the importance of organization and using an organizer.
"Studies show that individuals waste up to an hour every day on average, searching for things that they’ve misplaced. As such, we definitely agree with the sentiment that everyone can stand to benefit from getting and staying organized."
Read more about Get Organized month at the website below. Read about the history and what you can do to celebrate.
