Parent & Student Information
I want to thank everyone for their understanding and concern during my absences for my daughter's surgery. Due to the care she needed, some school related things had to be put on the back burner. I will do my best to get caught up with grading projects and work assigned while I was gone. I appreciate your understanding and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns that I can help with directly.

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.
