All Classes
Online Learning will begin on April 13th. More information regarding class times and office hours will be shared soon. If you need to contact me before or during this period of online learning, you can reach out via email (llevine@wcpss.net) or phone call or text (919-283-6845)
On March 23rd our Governor announced that public schools will be closed through May 15th. All WCPSS Principals will meet tomorrow (March 24th) to get further guidance about what online learning will look like for the next several weeks - once I have received specific guidance from Mrs. Hofmann, I will share more details with you. Until that time, please be patient (we're all facing a lot of uncertainty and figuring things out as we go) and make sure you are enrolled in Google Classroom and Remind.
The most important priority during this time is your health and safety - feel free to reach out via email or Remind if there is anything I can do to support you while we are out of school. Use this time to read, write, draw, paint, dance, exercise, create - check on each other and stay in touch - let's come back stronger, wiser, and more compassionate than e

If you are able to submit your Q3 Play Review or Script Analysis by the original deadline (7:25 am on Friday, March 20th), please do so. If you are unable due to school closures, assignments will be accepted late without penalty and will be included in 4th quarter grades. You will still need to submit both a Play Review and a Script Analysis by the Q4 deadline, 7:25 am on Friday, May 22nd. This extension is intended to support you, not to enable your procrastination, so make wise and responsible decisions about managing your time : )

There will be no required journal entries while school is closed. You may choose to submit a weekly journal entry detailing how you are spending your time outside of school for optional extra credit!
If you have access to the internet, please read through Julius Caesar (http://shakespeare.mit.edu/julius_caesar/full.html) which will be our final production of the year! Thanks to Shakespeare's works being in the public domain, we will be able to cut the script to an appropriate length depending on when we return to school. You may also choose to watch a recorded production to help with your understanding of the script. This is not for a grade, but will prepare you to begin the design process when we return.

At this time, it seems unlikely that we will be able to produce a fully staged version of Julius Caesar, but I am brainstorming several alternate ways to produce a final show including:
Recording a radio play (look it up, it's a real genre!)
Producing a shorter cut of one of Shakespeare's plays in June - maybe outside!
I'll continue to update you as we get more information and guidance from the county - the show must go on!
