**Important Update**

Good morning,

Please remember that I am grading the previous week’s work every Wednesday. If you are completing work after the “soft” deadlines, please email me a list of assignments you need me to update in Synergy. Many students are helping me by providing a list, and it’s working out wonderfully. Their grades are updated; they’re happy; I’m happy. It’s lovely.

This is increasingly important because next week I will be on a grading rampage, since it is the LAST WEEK OF CLASS! Classes officially end on Friday, May 15^th. The final exam is due by Friday, May 15^th. Completing the final exam is in your best interest because, as with everything else, it can only improve your overall grade.

Please have all work submitted by Friday, May 15^th.

Then, please exercise patience and understanding as I grade all the work that my students can possibly submit during the last week of school. I promise you I will be working as fast as I can.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for everything you guys have done this semester. It truly means a lot to me, and I think we’ve made the most of an interesting situation.

Sincerely,

Alora Earwood
