Hello and Happy New Year’s.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday and this finds you all staying healthy and safe as we continue to navigate this COVID-19 pandemic and this unprecedented time.

We continue to move forward with our High School Academy programming Online “Live” Synchronous for spring 2021 and will continue to work hard to assist you in completing Titan Strong.
As the dean of High School Academies I am asking that you please turn on your cameras and interact with your faculty and fellow students to create classroom environment that is engaging and interactive for your learning experience
Please remember we are all in this together as we focus on keeping you, your health and education as our top priority while avoiding the virus and continuing the practice of social distancing while minimizing the spread of the virus.
We are so proud of you and the work you have done. And will continue to do.
Wishing you and your family a Safe and Healthy 2021.
Sincerely,
