Under Orange's 2020-21 Reopening Plan, we will be working together online only until further notice. Additional information and daily updates can be found on the district’s COVID-19 Resource Page, located at https://www.orange.k12.nj.us/domain/3058.

• Grades for these assignments will be updated in Genesis just as they would if our class were meeting in person at school.  

• This is a new process for all of us. Please be patient with yourself, your family, your classmates, and myself and your other teachers. If we hit bumps in the road, we will sort them out together.

• Please note: lessons are differentiated through Reading Plus and as assigned through Classroom. Differentiation is based on student needs and assessment.
