Donations needed: High schools students like treats just as much as younger students, and who doesn't enjoy some candy during work time. I love providing my students with sweet treats or salty treats, but with 170+ students, it gets a bit pricey. I would like to request families to donate bags of candy, chocolate candy, or hard candy, and/or large boxes of gold fish, pretzels, or cheez-its. These are small incentives I can give for students who put forth their best effort.
Remind Accounts
Please see below for your child's class period and sign up for text message reminders. With the kids having eight classes, it is sometimes difficult for them to remember everything, especially for Freshman. I try to help out with the Remind.
Remind: Use the app or text to 81010

Also, Google Classroom has a new feature called Google Guardian. Parents can be invited as a guardian and receive notification of the assignments and due dates. If you would like to be invited as a guardian, please let me know via email. This is another short grading period. It will be helpful if you monitor your child's parent portal on a regular basis to help them keep up.
