        Plan and Schedule for the rest of the year...

        Students (and Parents and Guardians)

        This will be the structure for my Mechatronics class going forward for the rest of the year. Each student from AM or PM will have 2 classes a week that I expect them to attend.  AM is Tues and Thur.  PM is Mon and Wed, Students are expected to attend 2 classes.  If their scheduled works,  AM students can attend a PM class and PM students can attend an AM class... but they are all expected to attend at least 2 classes each week.    I'm also setting up on Wed a specific session for the 8 but computer build. 

        I will be taking an Official Attendance Roll that is reported back to home schools. We are being asked to document the number of students present and participating in class.  You will be marked "Present" if you are present during: Virtual meetings or watching Class Videos, or attending the office hours, checking and doing assignments in Google classroom.  If you do these things, you will be marked "present".  If, on the other hand, a student that does not meet any of the rationale criteria above for the previous week, they will be marked "absent".  

        For the AM students this will happen every Tuesday.  For the PM students this will happen Thursdays.

        Here is my Weekly schedule plan:   Please check the blog every day... that is where all information, class meeting links, assignments will be listed... as it has been for the whole year... so no surprise... 

        Monday - PM class  (AM students welcome)
        • 1:00 - 2:00 - This is the Mechatronics Class for Monday - Specifically for PM, and PM students are expected to attend, but both AM and PM students are welcome. I will lecture on the Python labs and 8 Bit Computer and other stuff. It will also be open for specific Questions Students have
