DA STEM - Return to Learn info

 Dear DA 10 STEM students,


You have now completed 2 weeks of college.  You are hopefully feeling like you've got Distance Learning at NCC under control and feeling like you can add on your JHS/KHS classes.  If not, lets work on that together.  I want to help you be successful!

If you are missing a Chemistry, Calc, Geology or Chem set for your NCC class please let me know ASAP so I can get one to your high school so you can get it on Wednesday for materials pick.  

Some folks have asked me for the details about pictures and school materials pick up and that info is in the Return to Learn info from your principal.  I'm including those links below.  

I read this article today and I think that it has a lot of info that is applicable to being a successful DA student too.  

How college students can make the most of remote learning

Good luck this week as you add on more classes to your schedule,

Meredith​
