Recent Closings
How are you liking this weather? (Don't you love it when people say that to you -- especially folks living in Florida!!)
The last couple weeks have been quite challenging. I know many of you are concerned about how we can deliver the coursework in the reduced time due to the weather related closings. So, we have decided it is in the best interest for you, our students, to use February 26 (originally scheduled as an All Employee Learning Day) as a regular class day instead.
Also, I wanted to say thank you to all of you who have used MOODLE during this time of weather challenges to stay connected with your classes.
Please be safe during this winter season! |
