  Posted on this website are assignments for my English 5/6 Accelerated, English 3/4 Accelerated, English 3/4, and Statesman newspaper classes. This site will be updated every Monday with new assignments. Late work will be accepted up to one week after the due date with a 25 percent reduction in points.

This year I have a student teacher, Jeevan Singh, from Portland State University. You may view her website by clicking on "Ms. Singh's Page" above.

If you have questions about grades or need help with assignments, stop by my room before or after school, during tutor time, or email me. I will respond to emails within 24 hours.
