Math 1:
We are going to have a Google Meeting (using your student email) this Thursday from 12:00-12:30 (with just Math 1). The link to the meeting will be posted a few minutes before the meeting on Mrs. Farinholt/Mrs. West's google classroom (the same one you had access to before we left). Please make sure you can access that google classroom page before Thursday. We will be meeting to discuss the plan for remote learning that will begin April 13th, and since this Friday, the 10th, is a holiday, we wanted to meet this Thursday instead.

Hello 8-2 Students and Families,
We hope everyone is still doing well. We wanted to email out some of the updates that have come our way, and while there are still a lot of questions, here is what we do know.
3. Click here for *new* resources that Mrs. West has put together for supplemental/optional learning next week. Along with that, here is the link for the graphing calculator options. Mrs. West will primarily be using the Team Website for her updates and lessons: https://sites.google.com/wcpss.net/lrms8-2hornets/home.
4. If you have not filled out the Field Trip Refund Request form, please do so ASAP. Payroll is working on that right now; again I do not know about the amount or process at this time, except that it will take a long time to complete for the whole school, but it is in the works. The form should only take a few minutes, please fill out if your student paid and was going to attend the field trip. (We have about 15 more people who need to do this).
5. As, I am sure you have heard, Year-Round schools will now be operating on a traditional schedule. Here is the new calendar that was sent to us. In terms of answering any questions regarding the schedule, please email Ms. Sinders (ksinders@wcpss.net).
6. This will be in the information that comes out prior to April 13th, but again the team website, and google classroom will be the primary places to check for information. Students will always need to use their Wake id accounts to access lessons and slides. For ELA +SS, google classroom will be the MAIN hub for all lessons.
We know this is A LOT of information to digest, and this is going to be an adjustment for all of us. We truly are taking each day at a time as information is continuing to change. Thank you for grace and patience. We are thinking about everyone, and I am REALLY missing class and the kids.
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I hope you and your loved ones are doing well. I have been talking with other teachers, and I am going to have a test "zoom" virtual meeting with anyone who wants to attend either by computer or by phone tomorrow. This is not required and will just be a check in if you want to test it out with me and with your classmates. Please help spread the word to 8-2 if anyone wants to join. The virtual meeting will start tomorrow at 11:00. I have heard you can use the zoom app, dial in on a phone, or use your computer. We will give it a try.
Something that is required is a google form that I need each of you to fill out-it just has a few basic questions. If I don't hear back on that form, I will need to reach out to you and a parent in another way. Please fill that out ASAP and take it seriously. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/eJaSCMcSNu7WBCNQA
One last thing, please help spread the word that I sent this email, as I know some students don't check their student email-but it is what I need to use during this time. Any further communication with you guys will be through your email, google classroom, or the team website.
Stay safe and healthy:)
The zoom link will be below...
