Return to Learn - DA 9

 Dear DA 9 families,

Several of you have asked for help with compiling the schedule and class links together.  This link will take you to a google doc you can copy and then edit for yourself.  The first schedule has the links and times for DA STEM and the second one has that for DA Humanities. 

Many of you 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.  If you are in DA Humanities and weren't able to get your materials from me last week then be sure to mention you need your DA bag from me at pick up.

Kennedy Return to School Info 

Jefferson Return to School Info 


If you are in my DA 9 Social Studies class I made some changes to my schedule for week one so please use this one.  

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

​I hope we will have a great first week at school!

May 18, 2020 Dear DA STEM 9th and 10th graders and their parents/guardians, Congratulations on completing spring semester at Normandale in the Dimensions Academy STEM program.  You excelled in your college coursework - during a pandemic and when all instruction was moved online!  Roger and I were very impressed with how hard you worked under these new learning conditions.

Think Before You Post

Harvard College recently rescinded admissions offers to at least ten prospective members of the Class of 2021 after the students traded sexually explicit memes and messages that  targeted minority groups in a private Facebook group chat. Last week I took a group of DA9th graders to Macalester College and the admissions officer told us they were looking for students that are both academically talented AND empathetic to others.   Please think before you post but also think about how you portray yourself.   http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/6/5/2021-offers-rescinded-memes/
