Travis Hammer

Hello and welcome all!

For those of you I have not met yet, my name is Travis Hammer and I am one of our social studies teachers here at Spectrum Academy. This year, I have the pleasure of teaching Current Events, World History/Geography, Ancient Greek History, and Psychology to our wonderful students.

As we enter the 2020/2021 school year we are faced with unprecedented challenges of delivering an effective education while ensuring the well-being and safety of students, their families, and teachers. With this in mind, I am implementing several procedures in my classroom to keep us all safe, which includes:

1. Masks are required 100% of the time in my classroom, accommodations involving masks must be approved through administration.

2. Physical boundaries must be maintained in the classroom (no physical contact) and breaking of the physical boundaries will be addressed immediately.

3. Permission must be given to move from your seat for any and all reasons (accommodations regarding being excused from the classroom in an IEP will be honored). This is not meant to restrict students, but to avoid unnecessary and accidental grouping.

4. I ask that all students use hand sanitizer when coming into the classroom. If they do not have hand sanitizer some will be provided to them.

5. All desks will be wiped down with a disinfecting wipe at the end of every class.

Again, please keep in mind that these precautions are meant to protect not only our students, but the teachers in this building and by extension our student's families, if you have any questions or concerns regarding these precautions please contact me at travis.hammer@spectrumcharter.org. You may also review these precautions in the syllabus attached below.

Canvas Information

With the blended nature of our classes this year, some students coming into the building and some learning from home, all of my courses are going to be delivered through Canvas. This means that all of the content we will be covering in class and assignments will be found on Canvas. At the bottom of this section you can find a link that will bring you to Spectrum Academy's Canvas login page. Additionally, you may find direct links to my class pages in the drop down menu below if you have already logged into Canvas.
