Please read:

All,

By now, you all know that schools will be closed until at at least April 20.  The teachers have meetings with administration and city officials Tuesday-Thursday this week to discuss and plan remote learning strategies.  So...for now....

  1. Please follow the WWII schedule.  Do the readings, take the notes, etc...just like you have all year. Use the review book too! 
  2. Complete the written assignments as assigned.  For now, type the answers on word and save them.  After I find out more info after out meetings, I'll let you know how to send the work.
  3. Stay positive and stay focused.  This is unprecedented territory for all of us.
  4. If you have not, please go to previous post and join google classroom.  My guess is this how we will be conducting the class moving forward.
 I will miss seeing you all in class. Hopefully, we will be back in the classroom soon.

"The only thing we have to fear.....is fear itself"- FDR, March 4, 1933

Google Classroom

All,

Even though this blog and pupilpath have been our main communication devices, Ms. Cohen wants ALL classes set up on Google Classroom.  Please log onto your Madison Google accounts and join your specific class using the codes below:

Period 4: mdbyyva

Period 6: oc6oqc5

I still plan to use our blog as our main source of communication.

Thank you.
