English 9 Update
Hello students, parents, and/or guardians. I hope you all are doing well and staying safe during these unprecedented times. As you know, Governor Whitmer has decided to close schools for the remainder of the school year. However, as stated by her, learning must still continue.
With that being said, I will no longer be updating the classroom website with materials. Instead, we will be using Schoology from now until the end of the school year for class lesson plans and assignments.
I am sure some of you know or have used Schoology before. For those of you who do not know, Schoology can be accessed through three different ways:
Username: Your School ID @wcskids.net (Example: [email protected])
Password: The password you use to log into the school network
Once all of you are in Schoology, click on our class! I already posted a question for class discussion for you to answer and get comfortable using the Schoology platform.
Beginning tomorrow April 14, we will be using Schoology, your school email, and Remind to communicate, get materials, have class discussions, etc.
To conclude, you will need to log into your school email and log into Schoology. As a side note, you can also download the app, Schoology, on your phone. That way, you can see the lesson plans and assignments right from the comfort of your phone.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kareem
