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"
