Students and Parents –
First, I would like to compliment this year’s freshmen. Thus far they have been wonderful to work with – bright, diligent, hard-working, and kind. I’m really bummed out we’re going to have to spend the next two weeks learning online, especially because were just about to enter a really critical part of our trimester and I have enjoyed the day to day interaction with the students very much.
Second, I want to emphasize to the students that they are responsible for what we do the next two weeks. While it is less than ideal circumstances, they are expected to work daily, turn stuff in on time, and be completely caught up when school begins back up after October 9. Do not treat this like a two week fall break. Due dates will be adhered to and important content will be covered. Remember, I am always here to help you. Call the school or email me if you need help.
Third, we will have a class meeting on Friday, September 25 on google meet to discuss the end of trimester final project. Join via your csddocs account. Period 3 will meet at 11:00 AM. Your meeting code is bairdenglishperiod3. Period 5 will meet at 1:30 PM. Your meeting code is bairdenglishperiod5. Both of these meetings occur during time we would normally be having class. I think these meetings will last around 20 minutes. It’s important you attend so that you understand the expectations for this project. Please read through the material and do the assignments on Canvas on Thursday in order to prepare.
Lastly, we will begin To Kill a Mockingbird on Monday. If you need a copy of the book, please come into school and get a copy from the library. This is also true of those of you that still need a Chromebook.
Thank you for your efforts thus far. Please let me know if there’s something I can do to help you during this time.
Thank you -
Mr. Baird
