Hello, 9th Graders!
Welcome to our hybrid and virtual year of learning!
Did you ever think you'd be starting high school in the middle of a world pandemic? Bizarre, right?
We're all going to need to be patient with one another as the year begins and progresses. Please feel free to ask for support and assistance whenever you need it: email me at monica_gebell@pittsford.monroe.edu or call my office number, 267-3780.
Assignments & Materials
We will be using Teams this year. Please be patient as our IT department is still populating our classes electronically. You will receive a notification when this is set up.
More information coming soon!
Until then, relax and read!
