Updated E-Mails and announcements will be posted as necessary! //**__Tuesday 8/24/10__**// Students,  I have started to grade assignments and many of you are on the right track. I encourage everyone to keep working hard and stay motivated. If you stay on pace it will be easier for you as the year goes on. I have also noticed that some of you are not logging on, so it is imperative that you so before you get too far behind. On another note, please read the directions to each assignment, test, and so on very carefully. I have been receiving assignment files that I have not been able to open. ** It is crucial that you use the documents they ask for or you will have to resubmit the assignment. **I hope all is going well and keep up the good work. __//** Wednesday 9/1/10 **//__ Students,   Once again, I want to commend you for starting off the school year so strongly! It is wonderful to see most students working away and submitting so many assignments! However there are still many of you who need to work a little bit harder so you don’t get behind. I will be in touch with those students soon. I want to reiterate what I sent out before. Many of you are reaching the point of a Unit test or exam; I wanted to explain a few things to you beforehand: 1) Once you open the test, you ** MUST ** complete it. You cannot "save" the test for later. If you close the test or navigate away from that webpage, your score will be calculated based only on the questions you had answered.   2) You may only take each test** ONCE **. You may take the quizzes multiple times as they are meant to be practice, but the Unit Test or Exam is final the first time. Make sure you are prepared before taking the tests! 3) The tests may have multiple choice questions, short answer questions, or both. Be prepared to answer all types of questions before opening the test.   4) If an error occurs while taking a test, please notify me **__ immediately __**. The sooner I hear from you, the more I can do to restore your grade. 5) You MUST come to the school site to take the Final Exam. There are no other options and the course will not be finished until you do so. You are still able to finish the courses early- just set up an appointment with me to take your final. *If you are in a Credit Recovery course, your last test must be taken at the school site, even if you do not have a final exam in your course. *   Remember ALL tests are password protected. And above all, if you need help, please contact me. My job is to help you!   **Also remember when you are e-mailing me to include name. grade, and class.**

__//** Wednesday 9/8/10 **//__ Students,  First off I want to say most of you are doing a great job staying on pace and working hard. To the ones who haven’t logged on you are getting behind and it will be harder for you to catch up if you don’t. You have all had the opportunity to get the kinks out and play around with the system; now its time to be accountable and do the required work. I have been looking at your assignments/quizzes and noticing that many of you are skipping over many of them and moving on to other assignments or quizzes. You need to do them all in order so I can grade them in order. If you don’t I will not be able to give you a grade until you do. Now that we got that out of the way here is a little something from me to keep you motivated. There's nothing to fear --- you're as good as the best, As strong as the mightiest, too. You can win in every battle or test; For there's no one just like you. There's only one you in the world today; So nobody else, you see, Can do your work in as fine a way: You're the only you there'll be ! So face the world, and all life is yours To conquer and love and live: And you'll find the happiness that endures In just the measure you give; There's nothing too good for you to possess, Nor heights where you cannot go: Your power is more than belief or guess --- It is something you have to know. There is nothing to fear --- you can and you will. For you are the invincible you. Set your foot on the highest hill --- There's nothing you cannot do. -- Author Unknown
