Welcome Back
I hope everyone has a wonderful winter break. Yes, it is 2020 and it is the beginning of the spring semester. Can you believe we are at the halfway mark!
I have up updated your enrichment assignments Schoology. Please make sure you check your Schoology for any message from me. If you receive credit for your enrichment you should see a “100” for your assignment. If you upload your enrichment assignments but did not see, the “100” check the message on Schoology. If you have not uploaded your enrichments or volunteer hours please do so ASAP. Also make sure you check YES hours at http://www.dhsyesprogram.org/ I am running reports at the end of this week and will be sending out warning/probation email/letter to students who have not met the academy requirements. Please see the academy requirement here https://www.fortbendisd.com/Page/14231
