Welcome to the 2023 - 2024 School Year!
Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos!
It's a GREAT day to be a TITAN!!!
My name is Leigh Nuñez. I am a 10th Grade Resource Teacher. We will focus on our personal and academic goals, as well as get ready for any of the Mississippi End of Course (State Tests) Assessments you are taking this year.
Course content will be organized and held in the Resource Canvas Course under Modules. Everything will be in Modules.
- All handouts, presentations, videos, outside resources, and assessments will be on Canvas
- Links to any necessary outside websites or apps will be on Canvas.
Assessments will be given weekly to track progress on IEP Goals.
- Assessments will be aligned to personal IEP Goals
- Practice questions to help prepare for other course assessments will be in subject modules
Depending on your grade, IEP goals, and accommodations, you will also be using Dream Box Reading Plus, IXL, and/or Khan Academy.
- MCSD has already given you an account for Reading Plus.
Communication
- I will primarily communicate with students and parents via email.
- Students please check your student email, at least weekly.
- Parents please check the email you provided the school at least weekly.
- Immediately important communication will be done via Remind. Please make sure notifications are turned on.
