ATTENTION STUDENTS!!!
ONLINE SCHOOL INFORMATION -
Dear Students,
I hope you and your families are all doing well during this unprecedented time. As you all know, in an effort to slow the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, schools have been mandated to move to an online format. This is new territory for all of us, so it is important that you pay close attention to all news and directions coming from the district and from your teachers so that you can make sure to complete your lessons and receive all of your credits for this semester. Although we may not be able to hold a traditional, physical graduation you will, nonetheless, "graduate" and receive your diploma at the end of this semester! Keep in mind that, while we are currently scheduled to resume regular school on Monday, April 13th, it is possible that school could still be cancelled for longer. Below I will be detailing to you the directions and expectations that you need to know in order to finish out the rest of this semester successfully. Remember that if you have any questions you may call me or email me! My phone number is 303-653-3700 and my email is alholder@adams14.org. My office hours will be Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM and from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. After 3:00 PM I will be in meetings and will not be available to answer questions.
My Contact Information:
Phone #: 303-653-3700
email: alholder@adams14.org
Office Hours:
Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM on Google Hangouts starting on Monday 4/6.
Students will be able to meet with me virtually through Google Hangouts during the times posted below. The link and password that you will use to access these virtual meetings will be posted below. Students may log into this virtual meeting at anytime, even when I am not present during office hours, and use this virtual space to meet and talk about assignments together.
How to join Google Hangouts:
To join the video meeting, go to Google Classroom and click on the link for that day's meeting. The link will be updated every day before my office hours begin.
Attendance Assignment:
On TUESDAY's and THURSDAY's, I will post a short "attendance assignment" that will allow me to check in with you and take attendance. This assignment will let me know that you are paying attention to what is going on, that you are understanding the directions and expectations, and it will allow me to take attendance in a non-traditional way. This assignment must be completed every day, by midnight in order to be marked "present" for that day. The assignments will be posted in Google Classroom under "Attendance Assignment". You will have 24 hours (up until midnight of that day) to complete the assignment and be counted as "present". The first attendance assignment will begin Tuesday, April 7th.
Week of 3/30 - 4/3:
Students MAY complete any assignment on Choice Boards (follow link below) to make up any classwork zero that they have in the grade book. I will be checking and grading these assignments on Friday of this week.
Use this time to make-up any assignments that you may be missing and get your grade caught up so that you are not having to do that during the coming weeks and can just focus on what needs to be done as it is assigned.

Welcome to Mr. Holder's site for Language Arts!
Hello and welcome to my class site! This site was created with the students and parents in mind. It is meant to be a resource for students and parents as well as a platform that will help develop in students skills of good communication. Through this website students will be able to explore art from various disciplines such as literature and film and to bring the knowledge gained in the classroom to practice by engaging other students through writing and debate. In exploring art through stimulated, intellectual dialogue, we will be helping students to develop their critical thinking skills as well as develop an appreciation for literature of all types. My ultimate goal is that our students will become better writers, better readers and better critical thinkers, all while gaining experience in a technical format.
