DAILY ASSIGNMENTS - LANGUAGE ARTS & PERIOD 8 MATH:

 

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

for

Monday, April 6, 2020:

 

 

For the remainder of the school year, I will no longer be posting assignments + information on THIS webpage.

It doesn't make sense to post both here AND also on GC / google classroom as I've been doing since school dismissal so I've decided to just use google classroom for EACH CLASS separately:

 

ELA, Study-Skills [if you have me], & MATH Period 8

 

In GC, you will notice several categories listed on the left side & under the "classwork" tab only 

 

Please do not use the stream section of GC to make any random comments and/or ask questions about assignments ~ there are many others ways to reach out to me 

+

As always, please remember to follow ALL appropriate online expectations / communication guidelines as stated in the technology contract

 

 Thank you!

~Ms. Sairrino

 

 *Be safe ~ by taking necessary precautions

*Be smart ~ by staying informed

*Be kind ~ by supporting each other

CA Dept of Public Health: How can people protect themselves?

There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (3-6 feet). This occurs through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

 

While at home, continue to be extra careful & practice good hygiene!

*try to avoid close contact with people who are sick & cover your mouth when sneezing / coughing

*wash your hands OFTEN [20 sec] & use hand sanitizer [60+ % alcohol based]

*avoid touching your face

*avoid public places with a lot of people [social distancing!]

  • Name cards are not to be removed from the case
  • No other paper, decorations, etc should be put inside the case
  • Cases should not be removed for any reason
  • Power cords (aka charger) must be kept at home [Note: IF battery is drained to zero, remember to make sure device actually turns on/lights up when plugging in charger, otherwise it will not charge! Take out & re-plug charger if that happens and it should work
  • No food or drink near the laptop [and sticky or hot cheetos fingers!]
  • Bring earbuds to school everyday!
  • If having technical issues / glitches while at home - please Mr. Robert / Mr. Foster in the morning before school starts to troubleshoot; You can also email your teacher to let them know what is going 

-------------------------

Some helpful back to school suggestions!

~bring water bottles to school so can refill at filtered water fountains!

~dress in layers b/c air conditioning can be cold

~enter through Gate D; exit through Gate C 

 

IMPORTANT: if absent/leave early,  all students must go to office the next school day BEFORE SCHOOL BEGINS / BEFORE their 1st PERIOD with a note to get a "readmit" slip which must be signed by all of your teachers whose class you missed; if don't have a note, still go to the office to tell them that you were out and they will give you a different slip until you bring in your note.
