April 3

Good morning everyone. I am sorry that I didn’t reach out yesterday, honestly after the governor’s announcement I needed to decompress. I am very saddened by the news that I won’t be able to see your smiling faces for the rest of the year. I understand why the decision was made, and I am happy that Governor Whitmer put the safety and health of all the students first. I am not sure yet what district leadership will decide in terms of how virtual learning will continue, among a slew of other questions. The order from the governor states that schools will be closed but that the online learning will continue, and how that looks will be different depending on the district. I know you want answers (I do too) but please be patient. Remember that this situation has never happened before, district and state leadership are doing everything they can to make the best choices possible putting students first. As for right now I would advise you that now more than ever it is important to be completing your assignments and checking your email/remind/teacher’s blogs. We will hopefully know more over the coming days. I hope that you take the chance to relax, reflect, and enjoy your spring break over the next week. I know that many of you planned on being away for the week and those plans have changed. Try your best to make the best of this situation. Its okay to feel frustrated, and sad, and any other feels. Let me know if you need anything, even if its just to vent. During break I will be checking my email and remind periodically, but will not be practicing office hours.

Forensics Students- there is a great forensic files posted. Please make sure all three of the assignments from this week are completed by tonight at midnight.
