Welcome parents to Open House 2021-2022!
This year we're doing Open House a little differently by going virtual. For some, this may be nothing new. Either way, I'm glad you're taking the time to get to know what your student is up to and invest to get to know about your student's courses and teachers.
To help us track who is in attendance tonight, please fill out the form provided. This will help the school in updating contact information and keep you informed to what is going on.

There are several important pieces of information that will help parents this year stay engaged in their student's education in my course. I first want to encourage all parents to read my Helpful Information for Parents article, which communicates with parents about many details and frequently asked about topics. Based on feedback from parents, this is by far the most helpful tool I have provided.
Second, students have access to the course syllabus on Teams. This may be easily found under the Files tab in the Class Materials folder. Parents may access the syllabus here:

Third, students and parents may find several useful tidbits of information on the course website, IsonBiology.com. For parents, I post the Weekly Announcements each week for ease of access - since parents don't have access to Teams at their fingertips, a quarter calendar for planning ahead (1st and 2nd Quarter is currently posted), and the course curriculum to help communicate that lessons are standards driven (Modules 1-3 are currently available). For student, they also have access to the parent tools and there are video tutorials reviewed and recommended by former students to assist them in topics they may struggle with.
Finally, if there ever is an issue that arises, questions, comments, concerns, etc., please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Email is the fastest and most efficient way to reach me. You may email me any time at [email protected]. Please allow up to 24 hours on school days for a response. Please understand that I may or may not be reachable during weekends and holidays. These timeframes are just a guideline, but I have been known to respond much, much quicker and during weekends and/or holidays.

I will be available in Teams during Open House, Monday, September 13, 2021, from 5:15 PM until 7:00 PM. This will be an "Office Hours" format, meaning that parents and students can come and go as they wish. Please keep personal questions concerning students to email for their privacy.
