Continuity of Education Plan

Brief Statement: I truly miss each and every one of you and hope that we can soon return to normalcy. Under the current circumstances, we will continue education electronically utilizing two main platforms - Google Classroom and Zoom. My assignments will be posted on Sunday that you are expected to work on and complete no later than Friday of the same week. My assignments will vary from expected reading, on-line worksheets, projects, Youtube videos, brief writings, face to face meetings through Zoom and other on-line options that I will make available. Student work MUST be turned in electronically, no later than 5:00 pm on Fridays.

Contact: office hours on Monday through Thursday between the hours of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. You may email me at matthew.plummer@ctasd.org with a means to which you prefer I reach out to you to assist you with your concern or issue. I will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

Grading

• As we move forward into this final marking period for the year, it is important for you to know that you will receive a grade that is either Pass or Fail. If you complete all assigned work, you will receive a passing grade for the fourth quarter. If you fail to complete all assigned work, you will be in jeopardy of failing the fourth quarter.

My hopes are that each of you and your families are doing well during these trying times. This situation has caused us all to alter the way we function for the time being. Normalcy will return and we will be better and stronger than we were pre-COVID-19. I am looking forward to working with each of you as we work outside of the box through these unchartered waters. If I can help you in any way as we move forward, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Looking forward to starting this new journey with you as we begin our on-line educational journeys on Monday, April 6, 2020. My initial assignments will be posted in Google Classroom on Sunday, April 5, 2020.

Sincerely,

Matthew R. Plummer
