Curriculum Corrections

Have you found an error in the curriculum? If so, help me to fix it and earn extra credit points.

If you suspect an error or typo in the curriculum materials on Launchpad or in your workbooks, email me about it. If you are correct, you will earn one extra credit point the subject the error was found in.

If you catch errors in my communications, (emails, blog posts, etc.) you can earn one extra credit point in English for your proofreading and follow up skills!

This will continue all year, so stay sharp and earn extra credit by helping Visions be more accurate :)

Returning Materials

If you have a school computer, you will need to return that to Sky Q.

At the end of the year, you can either return your textbooks to the resource center in Carmichael, or I will return them for you.

If you would like me to return your books, here is what you need to do:

Check your returnables list on Launchpad.

My info > My returnables
This will show you the items that need to be returned to Visions.

Bring those items to me in a bag or box or bundled with string. Make sure your first and last name and student ID # are clearly marked on the bag or the box. I will collect them at our last meeting.
