OPEN HOUSE 2024-2025

Welcome all Parents & Students to Open House!! If you were not able to make it this evening, please fee free to e-mail me if you have any questions or concerns as to your student’s progress. (Please note: I am currently working on updating the FOCUS Grade portal due to a Critical Computer Failure this weekend and only getting a replacement earlier today. I thank you for your patience and will have it up to date before Progress Reports post this Friday 9/13.) 


Basic classroom expectations of Attendance, Assignment Submissions, & Projects:

  1. It is crucial that students attend classes daily as discussions and insights cannot be duplicated.

      • Final Typed Items to Turnitin (Digital Inbox in their class Teams)
      • Handwritten Items will be scanned and uploaded to Focus
    • Check out Class Home Pages for additional class details
  2. If a student is absent they can follow the blog to keep up with their class and e-mail me BEFORE they are out at reedr1@duvalschools.org if they have any additional questions so they don’t fall behind.
  3. Current Projects!
