Hello everyone. I hope you and your family are doing good. Today starts a new chapter in public education. There is a huge learning curve that students and teachers will be navigating together. As we potencially move closer to embarking on this called "remote teaching" Some ar about to navigate unchartered waters with little, to no, preparation. We are figuring this out as they go. Please be patient.

I have reminded my students that they are not allowed to leave the Canvas page during any quiz or test for any reason. They have been informed that leaving the site during a quiz/test is considered cheating. If they leave the page at any time during the test or quiz they will receive a Zero (0) grade.
