COVID-19 Update!

We will be providing some sort of online learning starting Monday, April 13th.  Check the high school’s website for new information regarding online learning.  AP students, check the drop-down menu for specific websites to check out.  Hope you’re all doing well and staying healthy!

Week of COVID-19

Holy Cow!

As you already know, we are SHUT DOWN!  For most of my classes, this means the following:

  • Science Fiction and English 3: Since your texts are at school, we are in neutral and we’re idling.  Check back in at the end of March for more details.
  • Contemporary Lit: Although most of you have your books, you may also chill (for now)
  • AP Lit:  You are not so lucky.  Not because I’m going to assign you work to do (which I am, sort of), but because right now I don’t know what is going to happen with the College Board and the AP Lit test on May 6th.  Check the drop-down menu above for your class for an extra credit assignment you could do for the next two weeks.  I can’t make you do it, but you are AP students for goodness sake!

 

I want to make sure that you know that I truly hope you are all safe and healthy, as well as your family and friends.  We will survive.  We are Americans!

Aloha!

Mr. Hart
