Welcome back! The last year and a half have been crazy, and I'm so proud of you for getting through it. I am really looking forward to your senior year with you, so let's pack it with fun, stay on track, and keep building our bond as a homeroom. I want to cry happy tears when I watch each of you walk across that stage in June!
To get the most out of our time together, let's all pledge to participate in all the activities, respect each other, and support one another until we all walk the graduation stage together and, I hope, beyond.
On this page, I'll be posting anything that I think might help you, from college application resources to community service to the nuts and bolts at AK. Please let me know what you might find helpful as well. Make sure you go ahead and sign up for the Remind as soon as possible. Then scroll to the bottom for the link to the Code of Conduct and review that. I've also included some videos I think are good food for thought.
Text @f6c4f to 81010 to get on my Remind. I will text out important information and reminders.

Click on the following for resources to assist you in the college application process:
Marc Mero is a retired pro wrestler with a painful history. His words are powerful and important.
Derek Redmond's 1992 Olympic run is an amazing testament to perseverance and to love. Warning: you'll get a little teary.
And, of course, I could not leave out Ms. Rowling (Harry Potter fan here), whose words on failure are wise.
Mr. Rogers was just the best guy. His commencement speech at Dartmouth is full of wisdom and encouragement we still need.
Les Brown reminds us that "Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality." We can be anything we want to be.
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." --Maya Angelou
It's about choice. You--no one else--get to choose the kind of person you will be, and the person you are is rooted in how you treat others. It's as simple as that.

You now have the option to Print Test (link in the middle of the page). Because it is 24 pages, you may want to read it from the computer screen and take it on your own paper.
You will then enter your answers by following the same directions as above, but instead of clicking Print Test, you will click the link below that: Enter Answers.
180 hours completed: Some students got this message when they logged in. This is a program glitch. Students needed to keep track of their own time and disregard the 180 hours.
Actual hours completed: All HR classes have been loaded under each individual teacher.
Taking a test on paper: Students may have done a practice test on paper and put in their responses. We can tell if they did this or not in the system, and it will count towards 2 of their 5 hours.
Below are directions for the easiest test to find on Triumph. Taking it will count towards 2 hours of their time, and then they must practice their skills within the program for the remaining 3 hours.
