Online Learning Message
Dear Students and Parents,
I hope that this message finds you and your families doing well. This is a strange time for you to be a student and as parents. There is a lot of uncertainty right now and I am going to do my best to be flexible and understanding during these times. PLEASE communicate with me frequently via email especially if you are not understanding the work or if the work is too much or too little, this is my first time doing this too!
NORSE SUCCESS:
If you are in Mr. Matthews Norse Success you may stop reading at this point, there will be no assignments for Norse Success until we return.
ASSIGNMENTS:
All assignments and work will be done through Google Classroom. Starting next Monday I will be assigning 90 minutes of work or less to be done by Friday. This work can be done any time, day or night, as long as it is done by Friday. If you need more time please contact me.
GRADING:
Each week's worth of assignments will be worth 50 summative points. Work can be completed at any time before Friday. Late work will be accepted, if you are having a hard time completing the work please let me know so that we can work something out. If you log in and attempt the assignment you will pass, I do not want this to be something that stresses you out. Just do your best!
GOOGLE CLASSROOM:
To make it easier to track and to help us collaborate I will be putting all students into a new Google Classroom.
The code for classroom is as follows: xbkldp3
I also have posted this too our original Google Classrooms too. Let me know if you have questions.
OFFICE HOURS:
I will be available basically all day checking and responding to emails, however my official office hours are listed below:
Monday-Friday from 10-11 and from 2-3. If you have a specific question that you would like some help with these times will work best for email conversations or video chats.
IN CLOSING:
Your health and well being are more important to me during this time than anything else. If you need to take a break from class or if you need an extension on assignments please communicate. We will get through this and I cannot wait to see your faces again!
Sincerely,
Mr. Matthews
