3/13 IB HL 2

Hi IB Seniors,

Thank you guys so much for your thoughtful and focused discussion on Vietnam yesterday in the midst of absolute chaos and uncertainty.

We currently do not have directive from the District about plans going forward. I will update as soon as I know what we can/can't do during this time. However, my job is to do everything I can for you to feel prepared for the upcoming exam, so my hopes is that the directive will allow me to do that.   Please continue to check here for updates.

I will miss seeing you all each day. Please stay safe and email me if you need anything or have questions.

Hi all,

I have had a few questions about the Odyssey exam scheduled for today. That has been permanently put on hold, and you are not required to do anything at this point.

We currently do not have directive from the District about plans going forward. I will update as soon as I know what we can/can't do during this time. Please continue to check here for updates.

I will miss seeing you all each day. Please stay safe and email me if you need anything or have questions.

Hi IB Juniors,

Thank you all for submitting your 50s Commercials. I will have those in the gradebook next week sometime.

We currently do not have directive from the District about plans going forward. I will update as soon as I know what we can/can't do during this time. As I stated in class, I truly believe we will be able to cover all essential IB required learning so that you are prepared for HL 2 courses next year. What that looks like is not yet known. Please continue to check here for updates.

I will miss seeing you all each day. Please stay safe and email me if you need anything or have questions.
