BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!!

Mr. LaPalme has Girl Scout cookies. He will be selling them before school. If you would like to buy any boxes, please let Mr. LaPalme know.

Welcome!

Daphne High Students,

Thank you for making me feel welcome in Mr. LaPalme's classroom! I designed this blog for you all to help you keep up with assignments and what you might have missed, especially if you forgot to write down the assignments. I understand that some days you will be absent, so hopefully this blog will help you keep up with what we are doing in the classroom.

I made a tab for each of Mr. LaPalme's classes and for 12th grade AP, I have a tab for each of the classes labeled A and B. Each tab will have assignments listed and homework that you might have missed. This way you will not have to panic if you were not in class or if you were not paying attention in class when the assignments were given. If you have any questions about any assignment requirements you may post your questions under the days assignment and I or Mr. LaPalme will be able to  help clarify any misunderstandings.

Also, when you click on the "Valuable Resources" tab, you will find direct links to each of Mr. LaPalme's class Moodle sites. I know you probably already have the Moodle site bookmarked but this might help cut out a few clicks.

Later on this semester, you will be required to post on this blog, under your class tab, once a week. You will blog about what you have learned during the previous week or something important you read or an assignment you enjoyed. These posts will be monitored so make sure that your posts are well thought out, appropriate, and helpful for other students.

I look forward to what this semester will bring.

Thank you,
Ms. Tidwell
