COURSE SUPPLIES

Cloudbooks are available this year for every student who wishes to use one. Hotspots are also available if needed for Internet access. These need to be checked out through the school.

Cloudbooks checked out through the school are the student's responsibility. Students are expected to take them home and bring them to school charged. There are very limited extra cords for charging in class and not enough outlets at school for the Cloudbooks.

Students will need:
*   A device for accessing the Internet BOTH AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME: The device must have a webcam and microphone. Students must bring it to school charged and ready.Cloudbook, tablet or personal laptop. Cellphones are not sufficient. Cloudbooks, as well as hotspots if needed, may be checked out through the school. 
*   Earbuds  with a microphone for use at school. Students may also borrow a USB class headset for use in class. I do not have enough to check out for home.
*   Notebook or binder (for notes and handouts)
*   Lined paper (for notes and in-class assignments)
*   2 dry erase markers (dark colored)
*   Whiteboard eraser
*   Pen and pencil

COMMUNICATION

Emails and Canvas

Most communication will come through Canvas. I will send email reminders. Due dates will be posted. Announcements and special instructions will all be through Canvas. Very few emails will come through the district Encore system or Outlook. Parents are encouraged to sign up for a parent account Links to an external site. in order to receive these communications. You can also communicate with me through your student's Canvas French 1 course inbox.

It is essential that students check their Canvas French 1 course Inbox regularly. (Don't use the inbox associated with this webpage.) Students can set up notifications to come to another email account if they choose. More specific instructions are given in the student's Canvas French 1 course.

You may also contact me through my district email: juhall@dsdmail.net

Remind (texts)

Remind is a way for parents or students to communicate with me and I with them via text without disclosing either of our phone numbers. Although most communication will be through Canvas, quick text reminders or one-on-one communication is convenient with texting.
