Parent Teacher Conferences Our Parent Teacher Conferences have moved to October 13th. If you would like a conference please sign up: Click HERE for Appointment Slots. It is important to note they are allowed to be in person or virtual. In the "Description" box please put your student's name and whether you plan to be in person or virtual. In person I will have a paper copy of their grade breakdown for you and virtual I will have it digital so I can pull it up on the computer. If we run out of slots and you would like a conference, please e-mail me and we will set something up. If you don't have a google account, please ask your student to intercede.

End of the Grading Period NO WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 3:45 ON TUESDAY OCTOBER 11th.

Case Method InstituteWe are going to complete two cases from the Case Method Institute this semester. Monday we will start our first and Tuesday we will finish our first. These cases were developed by Dr. Moss at Harvard University and involve analyzing and analytics and serve as further evidence to the inquiry standards are being met. Before you feel overwhelmed - we will break the case into chunks, you will be with a group of people for the discussion group (fill out an evaluation in case someone didn't participate) and runa practice of reading and then discussing. You can do this! The case seems long, but that's because there is evidence to support both sides of the case and so you can choose what you want and then find evidence to support your claims.
