My office hours for Distance Learning will be as followed:
Monday - Friday 9:00am to 11:00am.
Feel free to email me with any questions you may have about the assignments on our Google Classrooms! An assignment that will take approximately 2.5 hours will be uploaded each week on Monday. Attendance will be taken on Fridays by seeing which students have completed the assignment(s) throughout the week. The grading scale being used for assignments is our typical 4,3,2,1 so there are not any suprises from our usual system!
Remote Learning Attendance Policy
-
All core content and electives teachers will record weekly attendance in Infinite Campus.
-
Attendance will be taken every Friday starting April 3, 2020.
-
Student attendance will be accounted for by teachers gathering and keeping track of evidence/artifacts (writings, videos, worksheets, projects) that students complete aligned to expectations outlined by the teacher.
-
Students must attempt the assigned task(s) to be considered ‘present’ during that week of remote learning.
-
If a student is not ‘attending’ based on these parameters, the teacher or appropriate designee will contact the family to determine what adjustments or modifications might be needed to help the student engage successfully in the remote learning experience.

Hello,
I have been working in the Adams 12 district for four years. Before SHMS, I had the pleasure of teaching at Vantage Point High School for two years. I graduated from Bowling Green State University in Ohio with a Bachelor of Science in Education with minors in history and political science. I have loved teaching the 7th grade social studies curriculm because of my sincere interest in the time periods covered. You can always catch me with a book in my hand about medieval Europe or the Roman empire.
