Class Website Reminder

Just a reminder that I have an active class website to explore.  In addition, you can add your email address to receive notice when updates to the page are made.  Please visit and check it out!

Progress Book

ProgressBook is the online gradebook for Lorain County JVS.  Passwords for students have been given to lab teachers, so all should be aware of the grades they are earning.  Login information and passwords for parents have been mailed home. 

If you have any questions about using ProgressBook, please contact the JVS.  While this won't replace teacher-parent contact, we hope to keep everyone up-to-date with class assignments and grades.

Remembering September 11

A dark period in America's recent history was the events surrounding September 11, 2001.  As we approach the ten year anniversary of these attacks on our nation, it is natural to reflect and remember our own experiences from that day.

I was teaching at JVS that day and remember students coming to me with stories.  I had no idea what was happening and spent most of the morning trying to calm their fears.  As the day unfolded and the reality of what had happened became more clear, my first thought was of my students that could possibly be fighting this war for us. 

If you would like to earn 5 bonus points, comment below with your memories from this day.  You can include your parents' memories also.  Comments must be made before Monday, September 12th to be eligible for bonus points.
