We have FIVE MORE WEEKS after break that we'll continue doing what we're doing now, and we know extenuating/tough circumstances are happening, BUT, as I've posted on this blog a dozen times before now, and I'll do it again here...

• Those of you who owe me work, are struggling with online learning/format, need my help (PLEASE ASK!!!!!!!--ask those who HAVE contacted me--I'm pretty sure they'll tell you I've been pretty helpful :) ), now is your chance to get back on track before you are PAINFULLY BEHIND! 

• PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL/TEXTS/MESSAGES/THIS BLOG DAILY!!! CLEAR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN Y'ALL AND ME--and vice versa--IS KEY IN THIS ALL WORKING WELL! :) 

• ALSO REMEMBER PATIENCE WITH ME AND TECHNOLOGY! 

• AND DO. NOT. HESITATE. to get in touch with me if you have questions, concerns, needs, etc.; I cannot help you if I do not know what's going on/how to help! 


***AGAIN: CLEAR, CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION IS KEY!***

IN ADDITION, ALL:

Per Principal Hussion, posted here is the UCHS *official* MEMO (for now) RE: 2020 GRADUATION; many of you have already read this via social media/email/etc., but nonetheless, here it is again; PLEASE READ CAREFULLY SO AS TO DISPEL ANY RUMORS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD:

FINALLY, ALL:

Here are a few MEMES and POWERFUL IMAGES from the past week to get you *laughing and thinking* as we begin our much-needed break; enjoy, then SCROLL ON DOWN TO YOUR RESPECTIVE CLASS FOR THE UPDATES/REMINDERS SPECIFIC TO YOUR CLASS!

SOMEONE MAKE THIS CAKE.
