Welcome to the 2010-2011 School Year
by mr. j on 17/08/10 at 5:33 pm
Students and Parents,My goal is that this website can be an evolving resource for students who are both present and absent throughout the school year. For each class period, this website will contain an entry that provides the following essential information:
- A detailed summary of what was taught during class
- An explanation of assigned homework
- Deadlines for assigned homework
- A list of resources that were distributed during class
- Links to the actual resources that were distributed during class
The content on this site will be evidence of the combined efforts of both the students and myself. Some student who are in class can use this site to review material covered in class. Other students can print off resources that were misplaced while still other students can use this site to find out what they missed when they were absent.
I look forward to watching this site evolve into a digital resource for parents, students, and myself
- Mr. J
