RV Computer Science, Robotics, ELD, & Science Week 9/9 - 13/2024

Hello Everyone!

I hope you have a great week.  Hopefully it will cool down.  

Please follow the directions especially if I am absent.  Listen and help the guest teacher when needed.  But mostly, take care of yourself.  

Rootbeer floats for all classes if you do well while I am gone.  If you get your name on the notes for something negative, you will earn an after school detention.  Take care of yourself and others.

Have a great week!

Mr. G

RV Computer Science, Robotics, & ELD Week 6/10 - 13/2024

 Hi all,

Welcome to the last week of the 2023/2024 School Year!

We will be finishing up some work this week.  You will also have some time to sign yearbooks and connect with friends.

This will be a chance to finish up any last-minute assignments, turn in anything you want 3D printed, and finish up any machine coding you are trying to get done.

8th graders remember to use Google TakeOut to save your Rio Schools files to your personal email before they are deleted.

If you need something from me, including questions about your grades please email me.  I am finishing grading this week so you will know your final grade.  Please make sure your work is posted where it should be.

We'll have Rootbeer floats this week.  Thank you all for a great year!
