Meet Poet Naomi Shihab Nye + Free Book

 Hey Class of 2024! 

I wanted to let you know about an exciting opportunity through Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures. City High students are invited to meet with Young People's Poet Laureate Naomi Shihab Nye virtually on March 11! We'll be joined by students at three other schools as well.

If you'd like to participate, we plan to read and discuss her newest book of poems, Everything Comes Next, to prepare for the live session. You'll be given a free copy of the book, and can read a sample here. Naomi's poetry often explores memory, identity (including her Palestinian American heritage), place, immigration, and nationality. 

Please reply to me by Wednesday, January 27, if you'd like to join us! Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you,

Ms. Salvadeo

Welcome back!

 Good Morning Class of 2024, 

Happy New Year!  

Welcome back!  Please take a minute to read over the information below about trimester 2.  Please email me if you have any questions.

• The schedule for trimester 2 is different.  We will be in class Tuesday-Friday from 8:00-3:40.  Monday's are a day off! 
   
  
• Check your Portal or your email for your trimester 2 schedule.
• At the bottom of every schedule, you will see either Group 1 or Group 2, even if you chose to stay virtual for the entire trimester.
• Group 1 will come into school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and be virtual on Wednesdays and Fridays.
• Group 2 will come into school on Wednesdays and Fridays and be virtual on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  
  
• We will all be virtual through at least Jan. 25.  You will access your virtual classes just like you've been doing, through Google Classroom
  
  
• When you are in class virtually, you MUST have your camera on and your full face MUST be visible.  If you do not have your camera on, and are not visible, you will be removed from class and marked absent.  I will also call home. 
  
  
• There will be no advisory time while we are virtual and instead you will get an hour break for lunch.  You will be responsible to get back online for all of your classes after lunch.

This is a new trimester and you have the opportunity to start strong!  We look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday morning at 8:00am! 

Mrs. Platt
