I have started a Class Do Jo page, but this is my primary source of information venue. Students usually are assigned homework in Google Classroom. My invite code is as follows: c4obvab.
I do not respond to emails or other electronic communications throughout the school day. Please call the office if there is an emergency.
Please be advised that you must contact me via email for any private problems your child is facing. Class Do Jo is not the appropriate forum for personal problems.
Our class has Art on Mondays and Gym on Wednesdays. Some of the students were given slips regarding after school art lessons. There is a limit who will be admitted to the program.
All reports are to follow the rubric for writing a report in the Google Classroom class work section.
