Welcome

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready to meet the challenges of the new school year. 
I want to address some first-day issues:

1. Summer Assignments: all assignments are due the first day of class. If you have concerns please see me privately. Late assignments will be deducted 5 points each day and no assignment will be accepted beyond September 21st

2. Textbooks: we will not be using the textbook too often however you can access an online version of the book or if you would rather have a hard copy see me after class.

3. Regents Exam This course culminates in a comprehensive Regents Exam that is required for graduation and will be held on Monday, June 3, 2019

4. Civic Action:  throughout the year we will not only explore historical events but also current events both globally and locally. I encourage you to watch or read multiple news outlets to be informed global citizens.


5. Setting Goals:  I will challenge each of you to set some goals for your self this year and I will help you achieve those goals.

"Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts"
