Welcome to our new home base! Every week an overview of your classes will be posted here. We will also have a homeroom meeting using Zoom on Tuesdays at 10:30. We can all meet for a few minutes, say hello, do our morning stretching or dance moves, etc. This isn't mandatory, but I'd love to see everyone check in.
Each of your teachers has listed their office hours below. See your email for the links. These are also not mandatory, but if you have a question on something, the teacher will have an open Zoom meeting during those times. You can pop in as needed. Of course, teachers are also available by email, but sometimes it's nice just to chat.
There are also links to each class. This is where specific instructions will be posted each week, along with resources. If you have a suggestion for a help video or a specific resource, let us know. I can't guarantee that we can make it, but it can help us shape what you need to best learn on your own.
It is REQUIRED that you check in with each of your academic teachers at least once a week. This can be using email or during a Zoom session. Even if you don't have a question, check in with an update on your progress!
