Contact Info
Welcome students!
I'm here to help you. You can contact me by email, the Teams app, or the Remind app. I've provided my email address and the remind code in the upper right corner. I'm available for tutoring or direct communication between the hours of 9 am - 11 pm and 1 pm - 3 pm.
Please download the Teams app ASAP, and get familiar with it. All of our classwork will be posted there, and I'll leave specific instructions for you. Your grade for the last 9 weeks of school will be based on the work you complete in Teams.
I will also be adding supplemental and interesting content to this web page periodically. The material posted here is optional, but highly suggested for you to explore.
Take care and be safe,
Ms. Higgins
