Dear Students, Parents and Guardians,

It has been my experience this year that you are more likely to check your Google Classroom than this blog.

Therefore, all of my classroom postings will be on Google Classroom from now on.

If your parents want access to this, they can write me an email and I will give them access.

Be well!

Juliet Prosser
