Announcement: Welcome

Welcome students!

This website and associated content are here for you to use! Agendas, assignments and announcements will be available here, as well as copies of handouts and documents. There will also be links to curriculum-related content, study guides, and SoL guides.

Depending on school policies and online resources, forums for comment and discussion may also be available here. You should consider this an extension of the classroom: questions about homework and readings may be asked and answered. There may be discussions of subject-related current events, for example, related to the recent Fukushima nuclear crisis. Constructive participation in these comments or forums will be considered for your class participation grade.  You should expect your contributions to persist beyond the end of the school year, and I encourage you to use the site archives to assist your studies, both this year and in the future.

Keep in mind, however, this is not an official XX School District forum, but is an additional resource for you.  It is, like the rest of the internet, a public forum viewable by other students and parents and you are expected to behave accordingly.

I REPEAT:  like everything else online, it is permanently readable, searchable, linkable, Googleable, and Facebookable by everyone, including administrators, law enforcement, college admissions officers, future employers, your grandparents, and that creepy guy at the bus stop.
