Welcome to school year 2015-2016
Hi everyone,
Welcome to the 2015-16 school year here at Hanford High. I'm looking forward to a great year, and I hope you are too. A little about myself. I'm starting my 8th year teaching at Hanford, but I've had several different experiences in my 24 years, including a 13 year experience of teaching at an international school in the Phillipines. I'm a math and science teacher, so there have been a number of different courses in both those areas that I have taught over the years. My wife and I have three boys -- two in elementary school and one in middle school -- so I enjoy being a part of all their activities. I look forward to getting to know you this year and hear more of your own story.
A big part of having a great school year is getting off to a good start. Good habits of work routines and regular communication about class expectations are things that I want to help you develop in my class this year. Regularly reading this blog is part of that process. I will use this blog to communicate with you the various assignments and upcoming tests/quizzes that we have talked about in class. This same schedule will be posted on the board in the room. This is just another way to let both you and your parents know what we are doing in class and what responsibilities you have here in class.
I will have two headings for each of my blog entries -- one for honors geometry and one for geometry. Be careful to read the correct one so you won't be confused! If you do have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via email, as I will check that regularly throughout the day up until about 4 pm. If you email after that, I most likely won't get back to you until the next day.
Here is my school email address: toby.landers@rsd.edu
Again, welcome to the new school year. Hanford is a great school and has a lot of great offerings for students to be involved in and make a positive impact. It all starts with a great attitude in the classroom though. I look forward to doing all I can to help make this year a successful one for you.
