Today, I am working on adding grades to Student Connect.

Good morning and welcome back! I hope you all had a restful spring break and are staying healthy. IXL will now be used in ELA classes. I have signed everyone up who has the following math teachers: Walker, Kerr, Korogiannis, Beydoun, and Johnson. If you have a different math teacher, I am waiting for Mrs. Johnson to add you to the system.

Username and password are the same ones you use for your math class. I will post the first IXL assignment today so you can get started. Those who do not have accounts yet, no worries, you will get extended time.

We will continue with our Shakespeare unit this week. On Wednesday, I will assign the Prologue of Romeo and Juliet, so stay tuned. In addition to the new assignments, you should also work on completing past assignments. I will continue to provide feedback and answer any questions you have via email.

We will have our first virtual meeting this Wednesday, April 15 from 11-12. I will send you the nickname about 10 minutes before the meeting so that you can join. The meeting is for any questions you may have. Please read the attached document on Google Meet/Hangout etiquette for students before joining the virtual meeting.
