This site is one of several methods of communication between myself, my students, and their parents. I recommend that you bookmark or favorite this site as it is not directly accessible through the NHS website.
Class-specific information, such as homework, duedates, and materials, can be accessed through Google Classroom. This website serves primarily as a resource and reference. For my 2020-2021 students, you will receive an invite to join your Google Classroom via your newtownps.org email address, and I will share the join code in class on Thursday 9/3 and Friday 9/4. Because policies are changing rapidly, I have not posted anything to the Classrooms yet, so there is nothing to see. I will email the invites when that changes (probably sometime on Tuesday, 9/1).
You can check out the Resources link on this website for things I've collected that could be of use to a variety of students on a variety of assignments or projects. You can also check the FAQ for some answers to questions I am frequently asked, including some "new school year" items.
Please note that I sometimes leave archival materials on this website which I invite you to peruse for reference, but be sure to use Google Classroom for any official coursework.
Please email me (listed below) with any questions, concerns, or comments.
Free Periods:
When I know my free periods for the 2020-2021 school year, and when I know whether you'll be allowed to visit me for extra help during them, they will be posted here.
I will also post information about extra help before or after school, or during online office hours, when that becomes available.
