Week 10, 1st Week of Safe-distance Learning

Hello Students and Parents,

These are the important reminders and links now that we are moving to safe-distance learning starting Monday.

  • Assignments will be posted on Google Classroom for each class.  The codes for my class are on My Login Page.
    • Each assignment will tell you how to submit the assignment.  Usually either Google Classroom or Turnitin.com.
    • All assignments for each day should not take you more than 30 minutes to complete, per county policy.  If an assignment takes more than 30 minutes, you may wish to ask yourself:  Are you trying to multitask?  Are you paying more attention to the music or video than the assignment?  Are you overthinking the assignment and going too detailed?  Do you need help?
    • Ms. Harris and I, as well as the rest of your teachers, will be available during the hours of 10:30-12pm.  My phone number is listed in all of my messages on Synergy if you have an immediate and time sensitive question within that time period.  Please email questions if it does not need an immediate answer.  
    • The expectation is that school is still in session.  We have been directed by administration to keep this expectation.  You ARE responsible for every assignment.  If you do not do the work while we are out of face-to-face school, then you will be expected to complete it upon returning to school.  That would be awful.  Do your future-self a favor and do it a little every day.  
  • Links for all resources will still be on the Resources Page.
  • The link to CTLS for quizzes and tests is: bit.ly/2NYTjhZ 
    • Assessments, such as quizzes and tests, should be completed in the presence of your parent or guardian.  
    • Students may use notes on quizzes and tests.  Students may not use the internet or other people on quizzes and tests. 
    • If you have a technical difficulty during a test or quiz, the parent or guardian must be the one to email or text me to fix it.  
  • If you have difficulty with your campbellhigh.net account, email: library [at] campbellhigh.net
  • When communicating with your teacher, it is very important to make sure you tell me your name.  Parents, for ease of communication, please include the name of your student in each email/text.  
  • The New York Times, usually a subscription only service, has made all information about the coronavirus free for all readers.  You can find the latest information here.
  • If you are interested in what getting a coronavirus test is like, this is the video I mentioned in class that students requested I post.  It is the only one I saw that followed the reporter through the testing in Korea, instead of quick shots of people going through the process.  CW: that swab really does go all the way up the nose.  
  • This is the list of products from the EPA that are known to kill the coronavirus, per student request.
  • Several companies are offering free or reduces cable packages during this time.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free.
