Welcome! Classes Started on Monday, March 30, 2020!
As we embark on this journey via online learning, please be patient. While I have taken many courses online, this will be the first I serve as an online instructor. I will do my best to update this site regularly with course information, links, instructions, and assignments. Starting Monday, March 30th, my office hours will be from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, Monday - Friday. I will be available via email, chat, or video conference during those times. Please remember that I teach 7 classes (150 students). I may at times be overwhelmed by parents and students trying to reach me at the same time, causing a delay in my response. Again, I ask you to please be patient. I will do my best to respond to you in a timely manner.

Important Stuff
♦ Attendance:
Each class day (Even or Odd) students are required to log into their classes on CANVAS. They should log into their class chat room on Microsoft Teams, type the word "Present" and click send. Microsoft Teams is a communication and collaboration platform that facilitates chat, video meetings, and file storage. I will use this web page, Microsoft Teams, Pinnacle, and CANVAS as the main communication tools. Below are the links for each class chat room.
