Week 9

Welcome to Week 9 of the school year. I know you're wondering, so I thought I'd remind you that there's only 11 more weeks till Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker! More immediately, however, Quarter 1 of the year will end on THIS FRIDAY, October 11th! That means that per usual, next Monday will be a "Teacher Planning Day". As such, I will be unavailable while I attend to meetings and professional development and the like. Most of you are off to a great start this semester, so let's keep the ball rolling.
​
​In an effort to combat the delay in appointments we’re experiencing right now (reminder: there’s 200+ of you, and only one of me!), I’ve created a “waitlist” for the course which will allow you to sign up to be called in one of two time frames (morning: 8am-3pm or afternoon: 3pm-8pm) if I have a cancellation or somehow find myself ahead. Please bear in mind, these are NOT SET APPOINTMENTS. Signing up for the waitlist merely lets me know that 1. You need a call and 2. A date and time you know you’d be available to answer that call. You can find these new appointment types on the same Calendly page where you make all of your other appointments.

Things to know

  • When calling, if you get my voicemail, please be sure to leave a message or I will never know that you called. I will do my utmost to return your calls with 24 hours.
  • Please make sure you have a Parent or Guardian available for your Monthly Call
  • I generally work late into the night, so don’t be surprised to see homework graded or emails sent at crazy hours! 
  • Pasco eSchool sets high expectations for the success of its students. To maintain instructional momentum, students are required to submit assignments in their course on a weekly basis and to maintain regular contact with their instructors. Failure to submit the minimum number of assignments on a weekly basis will result in removal from the course and may result in a failing grade being assigned to the student's academic transcript.
  • We are committed to meeting the needs of all students and will work tirelessly to facilitate student success.
