point your child is going to have any one of these teachers and this is a department that has all the students right now Alyssa I'm take a look at what the course overview and are grading policies are so you're going to see first that we offer integrated English these are our regular English classes classes are offered for 9th to 12th graders are these classes and meet graduation requirements and also a through G requirements when your children are ready to apply for college we also offer designated English these classes are set up for ELD students and they also are part of their graduation

we also offer AP courses for 11th and 12th graders if you have specific questions about these courses you can contact the teachers directly next line now text books and novels are really important in this class to know that students were given a collections textbook this is a hardcover textbook and we're in the process of getting are ebooks ready but that means is the students will be able to access their textbooks online when are AP classes all students received a text book and they all have various novels that they read throughout this the year the requirements are families need to be aware of include a student uninor sdusd account at all times this will give students access to their Google classrooms I'm in your Google classrooms you're going to get information about Zuma town and you're also going to see that our department requires that students use turnitin. every student I got really knows expected to users from the beginning of 9th grade until they graduate big Miss Gomez analogy reduce the department chair for math mystery George song I'm leaving everyone for 23 years and I'll be 40 it's Friday so this year and this year I will have spent half of my life and Gabrielino in wonderful that he wanted to find out in the math department Miss Kauai new teacher to Gabrielino she's new to the teaching profession so she has less than one year of experience but she has ideas and all the technology so she's been a blast and then I also like to highlight mr. Ivan Tang in one year with us but I think 16 years at Jefferson Middle School diving tank is not with us and then everyone else has been Catalina for a while now and the next likely math courses we offer 10 courses in the math department and that includes a regular courses honors courses AP course horses on the left Albert Readiness Algebra 1 geometry course is geometry if you have a son or daughter in algebra to the next course is precalculus have various paths that lead to them before example a student in algebra this year could take pre-calculus next year you can also take statistics next year or even 8 p statistics next year so the questions on the right if you want more info as another example calculus you can take any one of the five courses on the right and so digital resources every course every Math course that would feature digital resource we have what's called Big Ideas Math bigideasmath.com and it has a lot of tools when I assign homework and I can sign it electronically and so students would do the problem and chew their answers into the computer and the song the software will let them know how they're doing a digital assistant will be well I also teach calculus and a resource in calculus is couch at that is it odd numbered solutions for all of y'all number problems and I have to wait for the teacher and and that's it fruit thank you thank you mr.

it's all up and running cuz it's still a little bit under construction is going to be a couple classrooms right outside the library that I am going to set up as a space for a lot of things one of the things that's going to happen there's going to be a space for students like you who may be having a bad day and may just need a place to go for a couple minutes to kind of get themselves back together and have a lot of things going on in that to help you feel more relaxed and more calm but it's going to be an open space for you to come it's also going to be a space where those of you that receive outside counseling going to be the space where that is going to happen are you going to be out on campus in the wide-open or we're in an open space we're going to have a nice private confidential space for you to be in presentation I just a lot of things for you to be able to come in and get some extra support to learn some music really excited about this and I plan for it to all be in place when you come back to school in person in the meantime I created a website for Lena Wellness Center website in your teachers have probably shown you that on their Google classroom and it's a website where there are different tabs or again to help you relax how do you distract yourself a little bit animal cam there are music videos there are games to play lots of things for you to access on that website if I really wanted when you have time go ahead and go on that website and see if there's things on there that might just help you you don't take a brain breaks role in the meantime just know

Wellness Center is virtual right now and you can find that on our governmental web page Casa Machado is a College and Career Center counselor she's also our resident tacky and social media grew so if you see on this page she has a Google classroom and there is the code I heard you guys how to write that down when you visit her Google Classroom you'll see her virtual classroom and in there all of

information through those two social media accounts as well thank you mistress Demonte thank you to all of our department chairs for the information they shared tonight and now the plan conversation where there any questions only have a few in the chat not sure what those are so I wonder questions we have is when would you recommend college-level when would you college level courses to take that question level courses weed did the freshman year at the earliest transition from middle school to high school was already a big one and so we don't want them to overwhelmed by already on top of joining a new high school also start attending college classes so the end of freshman year movie The other thing to keep in mind about colored horses that are different from High School courses is that a college transcript stays with you forever High School transcript goes away once you go to college or once High School the minute you start taking call way to handle that college course on to whatever degree and not College portal follow them the entire rest of their college career thank you Miss Shannon have a question for you can you talk a little bit about and CSF and I need NHS requirements and deadlines you're absolutely I'm happy to so this is actually a timely question because this information went out on the website today in terms of CSF and it's actually going to be emailed to all students in Naviance tomorrow so the California scholarship Federation it is open to all students at ghs 10th 11th and 12th grade it is based on grades and their point values of CSF assigns for grade students are applying for the great last semester so based on last semester Street in Spring 2020 are there is an application online and a fetus after they fill that out they are going to be at 2 Mister RTA and his email address is posted online under CSS and that says line is by 5 p.m. on September 25th at NHS is the other When is National Honor Society there is a little bit different there is an application as well and they are I'm also based on academics but they also have four other pillar so it's followership service leadership and character the application how they do with the accounting department we go through all the app create a list of those who qualify for NHS and there is a service component I'm obviously in the virtual space is a little bit more challenging but it will be more explanation about how students will be able to and that deadline is going to be Wednesday September 23rd also by 5 p.m. and again that information will go out tomorrow morning and the CSF information is correct and the NHS information this is Martinez go back to you we have a question about when should seniors begin asking for recommendation letters yes send has been a Hot Topic so We are following or normal timeline and what I mean by that is we traditionally always meet with seniors in a small group setting at the end of September and in that small group meeting we go over college applications all day Support Services we offer such as workshops and including letter recommendation so a lot of our students I know you're anxious and I already sending out information without having the knowledge of the process and the procedure just want to encourage you guys right now the what should be happening is just thinking about who you would ask for a letter of Rec and wait for those senior meeting before you follow through on the process if we want to make sure we walk you through how to do that what is going to look like in a virtual setting so Jen those meetings will be happening at the end of September and small group senior meetings that's the traditional timeline we've always followed we're not late and and there's you need to get out those letters of recommendation right now at this moment but you should definitely be thinking about who you with not is not going to be affected by the UCS this year so the parent is wondering in the chat chat box it says AUC not sure if that I'm not sure if that's the way you see can you give me information about the SAT and ACT then maybe they're not requiring students to submit an SAT ACT test score of the UC and CSU have gone so far as it's not going to be part of the evaluation process so I know that's difficult yeah we've been telling us they're feeling very anxious I'm sure parents as well because right now there is not a test center to my knowledge that's open in our area for students to take the SAT or the ACT I'm due to the student who did complete either test right now it's optional to send it there is a court case pending my understanding so all the counselors have been attending all the training from the top states and the bottom line is not find it it's not going to hurt the student if they did not take either one of those numb and it's not going to be part of the admission process decision for this year thank you Mr Lopez better question for you are there any updates Garden clubs so they'll be a meeting next Tuesday in giving the directions as far as work and if I just need to do and protocols for starting a new club continuing your Club so that will be an invitation will be put out to clubs that are already in existence and have a leadership group together advisers who are already on our list will be in and then if your skin is looking to start up a new club you need to contact the ASP to let them know that you're interested so they can get the invite to that next Tuesday the 15th I think it's 2:15 in the afternoon thank you can I have an Athletics question for you when I flex resuming when they was doing the winter if they resume what are the requirements to Safeway participate so I think will be all the protocols it'll be laid out by The District in by the County Office of the county health office so we will adhere to the protocols that are put in place by those agencies but I think we will be very careful and make sure that we diligent in following those guidelines so I don't know what those would be, I think once we get to a point where we are bringing students back on the campus they'll be a set of protocols for anybody entering through the gate so we've been very strict in allowing the students on the campus and so I will be very clear and will communicate that out through a website into individual coaches and players thank you I was just at how about a little bit is that thing inside school district has been very clear that they will follow all the guidelines set forth by the Department of Public Health and Mr Lopez stated I will also be waiting to see what other information between now and when the winter season experience has been since March the pings change continually and that we're inside of guidelines giving it back to the beginning of the month and then be going to be something different the end of the month so please keep an eye on our website we will certainly get information as weak as we have it as we get closer to that time frame for athletics one more for you Mr Lopez question at yearbooks and if family did not get their yearbook from last year and we distributed them back in
