Kinda of a cool date huh?

Dear Students,

I know the last several weeks have not been easy for you.  These are unprecedented times and we are all finding new ways to cope with the new and unusual ways of finishing off the semester.  Your parents have shared a great deal of the burden and I want to personally thank them for supporting you and me at this difficult time. 

Your will continue to learn remotely until the end of the school year.  I intend to move forward with the curriculum as I expect you to continue putting forth your best effort into learning. Here are my expectations: 

1.  We will be meeting twice a week to discuss new material and answer any questions you may have via google meet. Attendance to google meet is mandatory.   You will get an invite but just so you know, it will be every Tuesday and Thursday.

2.  In addition, you can expect to receive instructions / assignments by means of google classroom, iBlog, iLearn, Remind and email.You should expect assignments that will take 1 hour per day to complete.  Due dates are important and will be followed.  

3.  Grades do count and will be entered on a regular basis.   Furthermore, if the you are not participating, your teacher (that’s me!) and then the principal will be calling home to touch base and discuss a plan to motivate and encourage you. 

4.  Work that was completed over the last month will be marked graded and any missed work must be made up.  

I plan to be available to you by email any time. I will respond to messages within 24 hours and until 4pm each day.  I will hold “office hours” on Wednesday from 10:00 am to 3:00.  I can be reached via email at craigv@dearbornschools.org, or, better yet, on Remind.

I look forward to continuing to work with you!
