Hello Pharm Tech Students!

I am sure that you were as surprised as I was when we got the announcement  that schools would be closed for three weeks!  I do think it was the right decision to slow the spread of the corona virus and I hope you’ll do everything you can to avoid crowds during this time and follow the good practices of hand-washing and covering your cough and not touching your face.  Since our spring break follows the three-week school closure, I do not expect to see you until April 13.   I know it is important to all of you that we have the opportunity to compete the required content for PassAssured so that you have the best chance possible to earn certification.  Since we will only have 6 weeks left for seniors after we return from this time off, it is imperative that you continue working on PassAssured while we are off.  You should know that the school district has asked us teachers to continue with lessons remotely.   In addition, they have asked us to contact parents when students do not complete assignments by the due dates.  Please be responsible and complete the assignments I send by their due dates!   With that being said, I EXPECT all of you to spend at least an hour or two (or more for those of you that want to pass the PTCE) on PassAssured daily. My suggestion is to set a timer and don’t let anything disrupt that time that you set aside to work on PassAssured.  I will have deadlines in place so that you can continue as it school were still in session.  The entire section of Medical Review is open as is the test.  You should aim to get this done by the end of the week.  I will post grades  on 3-20.    I have also opened up Aspetic Techniques.  Get started on that as well. Remember that you need to complete the program in ORDER for it to make sense.  Aseptic Technique should not take you as long as the Medical Review.   I will be in touch as you should be with me.  Please let me know if you are having any difficulties so that we can deal with them earlier rather than later.  If I don’t hear from you, I will assume everything is ok.  Please get started and work EVERY day.  Otherwise your grade is going to suffer.   Please reply to this email letting me know that you understand what I have assigned.   Mrs. Craig 

We are going to be getting ready for the PTCE.  You will need a passport or drivers license on the test day.  I plan on scheduling the exam on May 15th if the testing site is able.  Today you are all going to get the ball rolling by signing up!  Let’s do this!

Hello class,  This is a reminder that your next Top 300 #4 is happening on the day you come back from Spring Break.  Please remember to study 2 or  3 at a time till you have them done.  You get an extra week this time and this is good news.

Continue with PassAssured everyone.

Good luck.
