Wish List/Donations
The following items are things we use frequently in the classroom. While they are not required, it would be a HUGE HELP to have a few extra on hand as we progress through the year.

We will be using Google Classroom daily! Most of your assignments can be found here along with a plethora of useful information for my class and VRHS. Check back daily for updates to assignments and Google Slides presentations. My Google Voice number is available upon request and on Google Classroom.

Remind is one of the communication tools I use throughout the year to keep in touch with parents and students regarding important events in class as well as in the school. You can sign-up via a phone number or using the Remind app (available on Android and iOS).
