S2 - DAY 69/70: APRIL 23/24- UNIT 1 REVIEW GAME TIME! ...and start UNIT 2!

Hi Everybody APGOPO! 

I hope you are doing well!  I am a bit concerned and, to be perfectly honest, a bit disappointed in your lack of engagement with classwork.  Only about 5-6 students in each class are diligently completing the work assigned...and... WE STILL HAVE A MONTH TO GO! :(   Please be aware your March 13 Progress Report grade can go down ONE letter grade!

I know this isn't ideal and it's new BUT it may be our reality for a while ...not just for this year...maybe even next year!  We could be going through "waves" of on and off quarantine periods until there is a treatment or a vaccine.  The sooner we get used "school online" the better.

YOUR EDUCATION IS NOT ANY LESS IMPORTANT!  Only YOU have the power to make the most of what is offered to you!  ...DON'T CHECK OUT! ...TRY TO STAY INVOLVED VIRTUALLY!  ...SEE BELOW!

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING WITH YOU BY COMPLETING THESE QUICK 4 QUESTIONS:

•  APRIL PROGRESS REPORT CHECK IN FORM.
