Hello, everyone--
Just a quick note to let you know I have updated your gradebooks, so take a look when you have a chance. You will probably see a few assignments that have a "0" next to them--don't worry, you can still submit those for credit. I placed the zeros in the gradebook to show you where you should be working based on when you enrolled into the course. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Welcome Spring Semester Students!
Many of you have emailed me and asked me about additional information, resources, due dates and what you need to do weekly in order to maintain good standing in class. Here are a few things I would like for you to keep in mind:
- The Spring Term Ends June 1--this is when you need to have all of your assignments in to me for full credit.
- Don't wait for the deadline to submit your work--you need to demonstrate active participation by submitting your work as you complete it.
- Next week, I plan on posting weekly challenge questions--responding to these questions will also count towards your class participation.
- The Pacing Guide (located under Course Home) is great to follow and it will let you know if you are on track to complete this course on time.
- Weekly Activities: Ideally, I would like to see that you are working in your courses every week at least 3-4 days per week minimum. Please let me know if you are planning on going on a family vacation or will be off-line for an extended amount of time.
- I am usually online Monday thru Friday from 8:30 - 4:00 PST. I will do my best to respond to all emails within 24-48 hours unless you write me over the weekend--in that case, I will respond when I get in Monday morning (unless it is a holiday).
- Even though we have a very robust system to work in, weird things can happen in cyberspace. Be sure to save copies of your work.
- If you are in AP European History, let me know if you are planning on taking the AP Exam in May and if you need help finding a testing location.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
Just a quick note to let you know NUVHS offices will be closed for the holiday season, but you still have access to your courses. This is a great time of year to get caught-up if you are behind.
I have also posted a new Challenge Question for you to respond to over the holidays :o)
I will update everyone's gradebooks once I return January 6th.
Enjoy your break!

Hello, everyone--
My apologies for my tardy announcement and challenge question this week. A lot of unforeseen circumstances have arisen and have recently been resolved, so I am back and ready to sort some things out for you all! Your gradebooks have been updated. Let me know if you have any questions.
Those of you in AP European History should be finishing up Unit 4 by this Sunday--make sure you are on track or you may be withdrawn from the course. You will want to keep yourself at a pace of completing 1 unit per week until the end of the semester, January 12th.
Those of you in Digital Photo, Art Foundations and Art History should be finishing up Units 1 and 2. The countdown for your classes will begin next week. No matter what course you are enrolled in, please make some time to get some work in over the winter holiday--your courses will be open during that time and it is a great opportunity for you to catch up in case you are a little behind in your work.
As many of you know, the holidays are coming up and NUVHS offices will be closed for Winter Break starting December 20th. I will be on campus until noon (PST) that day, but will not be back until January 6th. I will more than likely will respond to emails here and there so feel free to contact me. If you don't hear from me during the break, you will hear from me once we all return back to school. I will do my best to update your gradebooks in a timely manner once school is back in session.
I will post a new challenge question that will be in effect this week and part of next and then I'll post another one before we go on break. Let me know if you have any questions!

Welcome back!
I see many of you worked very hard during the Thanksgiving break and I am working hard to catch up on all of your gradebooks. I think the following classes are updated: AP European History, Art History, and Art Foundations--that just leaves Digital Photography and my plan is to get those updated tomorrow.
On another note, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and had a chance to spend some quality time with your families. I will be posting a new Challenge question soon, so keep a look-out.

Hello, everyone--
I know many of you are getting ready for Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving break, so I won't post a new announcement or Challenge Question for next week, but I will have one ready to go shortly for this week :o) If you are interested in learning more about the history of Thanksgiving, check out this interactivity: Thanksgiving: What Really Happened
The NUVHS offices will be closed November 27th through December 1st. We will be back on December 2nd, so I will respond to any emails, requests and I will grade any work you have turned-in then.
I have updated your gradebooks this week so take a look when you have a chance. Many of you will see "0's" in for some of your assignments. You still have an opportunity to submit those assignments for credit, and the holiday break is a great time to catch up to where you should be in class!
If you are in AP European History and you have not completed Unit 1 yet, you will want to have that unit finished by November 24th or I will not be able to issue you a final grade. Please get that work in as soon as possible. Remember, the system will time-stamp your work when it is submitted so be sure to get it in before midnight CST on November 24th.
Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

I hope you all had a safe holiday last week! I see many of you were online this weekend and turned in quite a bit of work. I'm planning to have your gradebooks up-to-date by the end of the day, Tuesday. I'll have a new challenge question posted for you in just a minute.
As many of you know, Veteran's Day holiday will be Monday, November 11th, but do you know why we celebrate our veterans that day? If not, check out this link for more information: US Department of Veterans Affairs: History of Veteran's Day NUVHS will be open that day and you will have access to your classes if you would like to do a little work. :o)
For those of you in AP classes, be sure to have your Unit 1 work in by November 12th so that you may receive full credit!

Can you believe it is nearly the end of October? This year is flying by! Anyway, I have just finished updating everyone's gradebooks, so take a look when you have a chance. Some of you will see many "0" grades --those reflect assignments that probably should have been turned in by now according to the date you enrolled on the Pacing Guide. Let me know if you have any questions.
Along that same line, we are coming close to the time where I will not be able to issue full credit for those missing assignments. Be sure to pay attention to the date I mention in the comments section. For example, for those of you in AP European History, your Unit 1 work must be in by November 12th if you would like to receive full credit for those assignments. If those assignments come in after November 12th, I will lower the score that you earn by at least one letter grade as those assignments were not submitted on time. Let me know if you have any questions.
I see a lot of you have emailed me over the last few days. I'll work on responding to all of you by the end of the day today.
For those of you celebrating Halloween, Harvest Day, Dia de los Muertos and more, have a happy and safe holiday!

Hi again, everyone!
Those of you who turned in last week's Challenge question did a nice job! Each person that submitted a response found the correct answer--well done everyone! I'll post a new challenge question for this week as soon as I finish this announcement.
I see that many of you have submitted work over the weekend and that is wonderful news--I will probably have your gradebooks up-to-date by close of business Tuesday. Please let me know if you have any questions on concerns. I'll probably add in "0's" for missing work this week, so if you are behind in getting your assignments in please let me know about your plan to catch-up. Be sure to actively participate in your online courses--those of you who do not login frequently may be dropped for non-participation.
