MMM 5 October

Congratulations to our new students for completing Discovery! Now that we are finished with Disco and the skills modules, we will be back into our regular rotation of module offerings. If you would like to work out of the building for any part of the week, please check in with your teacher and your advisor before listing it on your contract.
 
We are in the midst of debate season! You can watch debates for Social Studies points if you sign in through Steve’s Social Studies classroom - make sure you take notes while you are watching so we can give you points. Your offerings this week include the Vice Presidential debate on Wednesday and a Senate debate between Cory Gardner and John Hickenlooper on Friday. More presidential debates are scheduled for upcoming weeks.
 
As you probably saw over the weekend, COVID reached the White House. It’s another reminder that we want to be vigilant with our own safety protocols: masks, distancing, and washing hands. Please be respectful of these expectations so we can stay in school!
