10 Daily Agenda and Homework
“Work hard, be kind and amazing things will happen.”
Conan O'Brien.
Happy End of School!
Dear Students,
Happy last days of school! You have completed all your essential learning assignments for English 10. Yay! This week I only have a brief form for you to complete. If you would like to offer feedback about the class this year, please click this link End of Year Feedback to answer the questions. You will need to sign in to Office 365 to complete the form.
Thank you for all your hard work these last few months. This was an incredibly challenging learning environment and I know we are all ready for a summer break. (I know I am.) I wish that I could say goodbye in person, but hopefully I will see you in the fall. I am crossing my fingers that we have school in the building in some capacity next year. I really miss teaching in person.
You have been a great class. Each one of you is so thoughtful and unique; you are the reason I love my work. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching you this year. Stay curious and engaged and you will do well in the years to come.
If you need to contact me, I am on email through Tuesday, June 23, 2020. For the rest of the summer, I check email sporadically so contact the office if it is urgent.
Please take care of yourselves and your families.
Sincerely,
Jana White
