Title: Announcements: Dear Parents and Students.
Course: 2024 Basic Language Arts

Dear Students, Welcome to the Basic 7th-grade English course! My hope is that by the end of this course you have a new appreciation for the subject matter and will continue your education in the subject. My name is Alejandro Guzmán Pérez and I will be your instructor for the next 11 weeks in this completely face-to-face course. This course runs from August to November. In this letter, you will find basic information about the course as well as resources for ensuring your success in online education. The course will be conducted in Moodle and everything for your success will be found there. Once the course starts you will be able to log in at http://moodle.sanpatricio.com.mx/2024/. This course takes a significant time commitment from you. I expect you to spend at least 10 hours per week working on the material. While there is a significant amount of reading, I have worked to make it all enjoyable. It is for this reason; I say the course will take at least 10 hours per week. Each week’s material will be made available per trimester. Last, but not least, please contact me if you have a question about the course. The best way to do this is to utilize the Inbox feature in Moodle or through RISCOLAR. The Inbox functions just like email. Depending on how you set your Notification preferences you will receive a copy of my reply in your personal email and this Inbox. My goal is to respond to messages within 2 days, Monday through Friday. However, it is but a goal and unforeseen circumstances can arise. If you do not receive a response back within the one-day timeframe, resend the message as it may have gotten lost in cyberspace. I look forward to working with you! Alejandro Guzmán Pérez.
