IMPORTANT REMINDER: Extra Credit deadline for the fourth quarter grading period will be at 12:15 Monday, May 9th, as the deadline is always during the week BEFORE the last week of the quarter. This will also be the last day to turn in any late work or makeup work. If you need to know about your extra credit opportunities, please read section 17 of the Class Expectations sheet, which is linked on this website.

Please plan ahead. Don't feel like you have to wait until the last day to do it. In fact, to avoid crowds on the due date, you are strongly encouraged to come in in advance of the due date. Make sure you have done it no later than this day, as there will be no time extensions given. See the Class Expectations sheet (#17) for an explanation of the extra credit requirements.

Upper-level Spanish students will be available most days before school in the Spanish room to help you and Madame is also available then, as well as during the B portion of Cyclone Hour. If you are having problems with Spanish, have questions about your homework, or just want a place to work on your assignments, please come in! We want to help you succeed! Come in for help from student tutors from 7:15-7:40 am nearly every day. Also, Madame is accessible by email at many other times, so, if you have questions, please seek assistance. If I'm able, I try to respond to emails very promptly.

This class is going to be a combination of a lot of work and a lot of fun--for all of us! Please remember that I am here to HELP you learn! If ever you don't understand something, please come see me! I want you to succeed!

I am here before 7:00 until the start of first hour every morning, as well as during the B portion of Cyclone Hour! Because I end my teaching day at OMS this year, I will unfortunately typically not be in the OHS building after school. There may be occasional exceptions, but generally please plan to come see me before school or during Cyclone Hour. In addition, I welcome questions by email during any out-of-school hours. I never feel like it's a bother, so please reach out to me in that manner during out of school hours and I will respond as promptly as I am able to!!

I love teaching! There is nothing I would rather do for a career! Learning another language is NOT easy, but the rewards are sooooooo worth it!!

I hope you are ready for a brand new experience and a great year!
