Welcome!
Thank you for being here and taking the best care of my class today! My name is Candice Karas (pronounced "care-us"), and I appreciate that you are ready to jump in and help. I hope this page provides all you need in order to survive and thrive in my class today.
To Do {ASAP}
- Log in to the laptop with your username (eNumber) and password. If you experience any issues with this, please contact the Technology Help Desk at ext. 8260 (from my desk phone) or Lauren Wurman at ext. 8212. You could also try asking our librarian, Suzie Green, at ext. 5341.
- Read the lesson plans provided (scroll down!). If I knew about this absence in advance, you'll see the date(s) of your job in red at the top of the page. If this absence was a last-minute occurrence, the date on those sub plans will NOT be correct, and you should click here to utilize my emergency lesson plans. In either case, please familiarize yourself with the schedule and lesson.
- There is a red emergency packet hanging on a hook by the door. Please take a moment to review it and the emergency procedures poster (on the back of the door) for fire and lockdown situations. Maps are located on the wall next to the door; please make sure to review the routes for evacuation and weather-related incidents, as well.
- Scroll down on this page to read the expectations and procedures to familiarize yourself with the way we normally do things in this room.
