For more details on assignments and due dates, please visit the learning calendar links.

In Google Classroom, I have started to use color coding to help students know what to focus on, with colored circles at the start of the assignment titles. Hopefully this is helpful!

Here is the color coding key:

🟢 Complete and turn in (may be on time or late, check due date), in person check or on ThinkCentral

🟢🔵Turn in HERE in Google Classroom! AND can still be turned in

🔴 Graded, past time for late work, can no longer be submitted, turned in, or checked in person

🟡 Materials or answers to check, nothing to turn in (either online, in person, or on ThinkCentral)

Welcome to the new school year!  I will not be updating the blog as regularly as I did last year, but I have a new tool available to you.  On the right, you can see links to learning calendars for the different classes.  These include a running list of assignments and in general what is covered in class, and will be updated regularly.  This resource is available for parents and students to keep on track and start conversations about what students are learning.  While this may be a year unlike any other, I think we are going to have an amazing year.  I look forward to working with you all to make this year a success and to help our students learn and grow!
