March 30 - May 8 Memo for Monday 3/30 Today I met with several students from 8 - 10. I was informed by PHS Admin there was a problem on the Zoom end with the program. I am sorry for the frustration as several of you have emailed me. Look in Google Classroom for the Code on Monday morning. I am going to be holding Office hours on a recurring basis each Monday from 9-11 for all classes. I will keep you posted. The Id and Password for today was in Google Classroom. For student safety we will be updating the id and password each week. This week, you should be starting your work in Edgenuity. Because we are not sure when we will be coming back to school, the current target "end date" is May 8. That could change. Don't worry about rushing to get through all the units - if we come back early, I will adjust the amount of work. I have been told from other students the Edgenuity program looks for specific terms and keywords which the program has used. So, do not try to put your responses in your own words. Use their terminology whenever possible. I am still accepting late work from February and March in Google Classroom and Aeries. I will be grading your work in Aeries based on the percentage correct, as well as whether or not you are staying "on track to finish" in Edgenuity. Let me know if you have questions! Students picking up packets - Reminder pick up is today and tomorrow. TODAY! March 30-31, 2020 - CAFETERIA Packet/book distribution, 10am-2pm. Moved to the cafeteria!
This is an adjustment for all of us. Please be patient and let me know if you have questions!
