Welcome Students and Guardians

I am excited to welcome your student to English class this coming semester! We will read widely and deeply, write in a variety of genres, and make our unique voices heard. I am confident that each and every student has the potential to rise to the occasion and have a terrific term.

 
Please join the Google Classroom
I will be posting daily activities and lessons as well as all readings on that platform. Some folks are automatically sent a parent invite, others I’ll rely on what I have in Infinite Campus. I recommend creating a Gmail account (it’s free!) to better access Google Classroom.
 
Please contact me with ANY questions or concerns
No question, worry, or wondering is too small. I care about your student and want them to be successful, and you’re the expert on them. Please keep in close contact with me. I want to hear from you!
 
Please check your e-mail regularly
E-mail is the primary contact point for families. I e-mail early and often and the more connected we can all stay the better we can set students up for success.
 
Please review the class syllabus
I have linked both Common Sense Media reviews and/or complete digital copies of the texts we will be reading in class. Copies of the syllabus will go home both via e-mail and as a hard copy with your student. Please let me know if you have any concerns about a text before the unit starts so we can work together to come up with a strategy that will work for you and your student.

Hello! My name is Mx. West and this will be my eighth year teaching, my twelfth year working in public schools, and my seventh year at MAU! I enjoy living in VT with my wife and our dogs.
