School Email

You will receive emails periodically, and not just for English class. It is absolutely mandatory that you check your school email at least once a day. If you have trouble accessing your school email, please let the school know right away so we can help you.

Use This Blog

Since some of you will be learning remotely, some will be in-person, and some will be a combination of both, I will be using this blog as well as our class Schoology page to make sure everyone is always aware of what's going on and what's due. It's important that you bookmark this blog and check it daily for updates.

Take a moment to read through the pages linked at the top of this blog, as well. There will be rules for using this blog.

Supplies

For all English classes (English 8, English 9, and English 9 Honors), it's important that you have a place to store handouts (which should all be available digitally as well) and notes. Please make sure to have the following items ready for class every day if you are in the classroom:

  1. Chromebook and charger (if you are provided with one)
  2. 2 pocket folder*
  3. 1 subject notebook (if you use a 3 or 5 subject notebook, that’s fine, but there needs to be a dedicated English section)*
  4. Blue or black pen(s) (it's sometimes very difficult to read other colors, so please use only standard blue or black ink for assignments)
  5. Highlighter

*If you would prefer to use a 3 ring binder and looseleaf paper rather than a notebook and folder, that's fine, but whichever you use must be in class every day.

Optional Supplies

The following items are not required but may be useful for some students

  1. 3x5 index cards (these may be helpful for studying vocabulary terms or taking notes for research projects)
  2. If possible, please provide one box of tissues for class
