Starting Monday April 27th, all students (or their guardians) will be required to log into the student’s Google Classroom account for the classes to which they are assigned to complete a form for EACH DAY OF THE WEEK. This is required by the SCUSD to account for the student daily attendance. This should be completed by 11 pm each day and will be recorded the following day in Infinite Campus. This will be found in the Gradebook section, not under the traditional Attendance section. There will NOT BE AN ACADEMIC GRADE ASSIGNED for this task.

- Exam outline available in Edmodo; please not that there is not a scheduled exam at this time; for review purposes only
- There will be no lessons next week due to our scheduled Spring Break! Enjoy!
During this trying time coping with our lives being affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and the school closure, I want to reassure you that I will still be providing high quality lessons that West Campus students have grown accustomed to. I will be posting the lesson agendas and objectives daily on my website (wcscience.com) for students and parents to have access to. I will also be using our Edmodo platform for other lesson elements. Students will be able to upload their work to that platform, where I will provide constructive feedback on how they may improve their work. The situation being dynamic I will be waiving late penalties as long as the delays are reasonable. Students may complete work on lined paper if they are unable to print the hardcopy of the material and upload photos using their smartphones or computers. Further instructions will follow in the days ahead.
Please stay safe and healthy during our extended absence from school. Please log onto Edmodo daily to keep up with your work. If you need to contact me you may e-mail me at s_mapplebeck@yahoo.com. I will be active during weekdays between 8 am to 3 pm.
Sincerely,
Scott Mapplebeck
Science Instructor
