Dear English IV Students and Parents/Guardians:

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Mary E.Phillips High

words to learn. Another component of the class will be the writers workshop.
Students will have the opportunity to improve their writing and tap into their

I use Remind 101 to send regular text messages to keep parents and students
aware of due dates for projects and assignments. I will also be posting all
assignments and projects as well as daily activities to Edmodo. It is the student's
responsibility to keep up with their assignments and project due dates. Students
will be given plenty of time during class to work on all projects and assignments,
but some will require to be completed at home.

I also use a vast amount of varying technology in the classroom, thus it is


imperative that all students have a technology agreement on file in order to use the
technology available to them at school.

I will be offering tutoring every Tuesday from 2:30-3:00 and by appointment other
days. My door is always open to parents and I love hearing from you. Please do
not hesitate to call or email with any questions or concerns you may have.
