This webpage is where you'll be able to find everything you need to succeed in your class.  I'll post our daily activities, plus links to any handouts or lecture notes on this page.  Just click on your class in the sidebar. 

Announcements for All Students: 

I expect all students to have all their materials with them all the time. Be prepared and ready to learn the minute you walk in the door.

Yes, you do have a school gmail account.  To log into it: username@students.usd385.org (it's the same user name as you use to log into the computers). If you haven't already changed your password, your default password is usernamelunchnumber.

Juniors: If you're looking for a way to improve your ACT and SAT grammar and vocabulary skills, check out www.freerice.com. It's a great way to get some good practice and help fight world hunger.

Seniors:  Please remember that I return graded work (including essays) to your folders. Please take them and look them over. If you need any explanation about the comments I put on your essays, please use your writing handbook. For example, if I write "comma splice" but you don't know what that means, look it up in your handbook.  After you've done your best but still need explanation or advice, bring your graded essay to me and we'll look at it together.

Current and Former Students: If you're looking for the 4 ex paragraph development packet, here it is!paragraph organizer.doc
