Trojan Times
By: Principal Dufrene
Hello Hampshire HS,
Each Monday I will send out my Trojan Times to keep our school community updated on the many highlights and upcoming spotlights taking place at Hampshire High School. It is important that we have an engaging school community that works together so we can provide every student with various opportunities to be successful.
Our focus the first week was to welcome back our students and reconnect with them while providing "healthy expectations". This week our focus will be on making sure everyone understands how to navigate through Schoology and to provide effective instruction in-person and remotely. Teachers have daily "office hours" so students that are learning remotely at this time can interact with them if they have any questions or need a lesson retaught.
Students, please see Mr. Feazell during your lunch shift in the cafeteria if you have any Chromebook issues. Chromebook login is the beginning of your email for your username and your Office 365 password; for Schoology login it is your beginning of your email for username and your full WVEIS number for the password. To log on use... https://hampshireco.schoology.com
I am extremely proud of how hard our faculty and staff has worked and battled through these challenging times. None of us have all the right answers, but we are committed to giving our best to our students each day so they can be their best. Students and parents, please do not hesitate to reach out to your teacher as needed throughout the school year. Together we will make this a successful year to remember!
Hampshire Highlights...
