Thoughts on a blog...

Dear Parents,
We're very excited to use this blog as a bridge of communication between school and home. We understand that both students and parents lead very busy lives and this blog is meant to be used as an addition to the communication between teacher and student in the classroom. It is not, however, meant to act as a "virtual classroom." There is simply no way to recreate the classroom discussions and direct instruction that occur at school. Students are still expected to use their student planners to record daily class agendas and due dates. In addition, students are also expected to communicate information discussed in class with their parents regarding instructions and assignment expectations. We are truly trying to encourage our students to become independent and responsible young adults, while providing parents with a snapshot of the weekly class happenings.
