Google Classroom has been set up for all sections that Mr. Boch teaches. An invitation to join your respective class has been sent to your school email. Below are the class codes in case that did not work.
EPS 1st period – utl55vb
EPS 2nd period – s2v5ptl
Dynamic Earth (all sections) – 6cchwk3
Note!
– You are required to complete all assigned work by the Friday of the first week we return. But it can be turned in through Google classroom whenever you finish. I’d get it done and not have a pile of work when you return if I were you.
– I will post assignments for each week by Monday afternoon and check both the classroom and my school email at least twice daily during the weekdays.
– EPS– Please make sure to send me your Google Slide presentation of you quarter projects so I can complete grades for this quarter.
Best of luck! Remember: social distance and wash your hands!
