DA STEM Update 3/23/2020

*Note 10th grade letter is below.

Dear 9th grade students and parents,
We hope this finds everyone healthy and ready to get back to learning on 3/30/2020. Our plan is to continue to have  instruction between 7:50 and 9:35 via Zoom. Attendance will be taken and just like before, arrangements for absences should be made prior to class time. Meredith and I will be “sitting in” on these Zoom sessions similar to what we regularly do. Please be very proactive if you have any issues with the technology or the material being covered.
Professor Weum has an updated syllabus as well as plans for this coming week posted on D2L. There is a link for students using Zoom as well as a link to her Zoom classroom. Additionally there is some homework and studying that needs to be completed by midnight of the 30th.
Professor Klapoetke also has an update on D2L. His plans are less specific because he is waiting for feedback from the students. If you have not responded to him, please do so before 10am tomorrow.
I can be reached by text anytime at 952-529-0541 or email at rskophammer@isd271.org. If you need to talk by phone please arrange a time by text (usually I can arrange for that very quickly). 
Please monitor NCC on a regular basis—at a minimum twice a day. If you are having problems with NCC email or D2L try resetting your password. 
Thanks,
Roger and Meredith

 Dear 10th grade students and parents,
We hope this finds everyone healthy and ready to get back to learning on 3/30. Our plan is to continue to have  instruction between 7:50 and 9:35 via either Zoom or possible recorded lectures for Chemistry. Attendance will be taken and just like before, arrangements for absences should be made prior to class time. Meredith and I will be “sitting in” on these Zoom sessions or monitoring discussion boards or Chat Similar to what we regularly do. Please be very proactive if you have any issues with the technology or the material being covered.
Thank you all for completing the survey for Calculus. Patrick has provided answers to many of you concerns on D2L. Please take time to read through his answer and get started on the WebAssign homework due the week of the 30th. Patrick is planning on using Zoom during our regular class times. Also monitor NCC email for further updates.
Carolyn also has an update on her D2L page. She is planning on using Zoom but may use a combination of methods to depend on her child care needs. Regardless you will be working on chemistry during our normal course time. Agin, please monitor NCC emails as she will be posting an updated syllabus this week.

Sincerely,
Roger and Meredith

New GT Coordinator

I am really excited that I was a part of expanding our program to both high schools and to junior year. This pandemic has been hard on all of us and I have decided to return to the classroom full time next year. I will continue to teach the DA 9 and 10 social studies classes at Kennedy. Your students will be in great hands! Lisa Kiner, who is a DA teacher at OGMS, will be our new high school GT coordinator. She has a lot of experience as a teacher and as a parent which will help her serve our students well! Please welcome Lisa in the fall into this new role. I will just be an email away so please always feel like you can reach out! I hope your school year is wrapping up well and that you'll have a...
