U.S. History
Good morning everyone,
I know the last few days we have seen some comments in the news and on social media regarding statements from the Michigan Department of Education. Mrs. Alcodray wanted us to share this message from the district:
Hello Students,
I just wanted to update you on the fast-moving situation regarding our online classes. This afternoon, Governor Gretchen Whitmer expressed her “dismay” about the Michigan Department of Education’s statement, releasing her own statement assuring educators and parents that this time could possibly count. The MDE released its original statement because in order for our time to count, the Michigan legislature must change the law; the MDE has no power here. So, what does that mean for us? It is very possible—even likely—that our time online will count. So, keep working. Our state lawmakers do not want to anger parents and educators across the state. So, let’s keep our momentum going.

I want to thank each of you who emailed me your reflection over the weekend. They were all so well done, and I really enjoyed reading your comments. For this week we will be switching gears and looking at how the Americans and the Soviet Union began engaging in Cold War conflicts.
