Welcome To Mrs.Tolman's Class

Summer Dual Enrollment Registration
Students who were interested in Summer Dual Enrollment courses recently filled out a Google Form, this is NOT the actual registration. They will receive an email from their counselor with the courses that they have been approved for within the next weeks. As cohort students, they have the advantage of enrolling 2 days before the rest of the students. However, these summer courses are open to all seven high schools, so they need to register early to ensure their spots.
Very Late Share, but this was our Winter Holiday Card.
Student Digital Portfolios
Students are currently working on their individual student blogs to assist them in building technology skills. Every assignment builds towards what will be considered their final exam.
You can see their work in progress here https://tolmansclass.edublogs.org/
TSI Tutorials
Students need to pass the TSI ELAR (English Language Arts Reading) by April 29 to continue taking dual enrollment courses during the Fall semester. Students who are taking summer dual courses have until March 11 to meet this requirement. TSI Math tutorials are available after school Monday-Thursday with Mr. Shea in E206. TSI ELAR tutorials are available Wednesday and Thursday with Dr. Bugtong in F116.
Additionally, every AVID 9th-grade student has been enrolled in the APEX TSI Math and ELAR Prep courses.
APEX is accessible through their Clever accounts.
Open House
Open House is next Tuesday. This is designed to provide you with the opportunity to see the programs the campus has to offer.
If you would like to have a discussion regarding your student's progress or grades please contact me during my conference time 3:25-4:10.
Relational Capacity
As testing fast approaches, I find it important to take a moment to reflect on all the progress students have made this year and celebrate them! This includes disconnecting from electronics and playing traditional board games.

Mrs. Linda Tolman
My name is Mrs. Tolman and I am the 9th Grade AVID teacher. I come from a family of educators who firmly believed that an education never ends.
During the summer of 2021, I was certified as a Yoga Instructor with Breathe for Change. A program that is designed to create Social Emotional Learning Facilitators and teaches how to guide trauma informed yoga. We have successfully been able to bring yoga into our campus and currently offer five yoga classes before and after school. It has been amazing to see the practice come to fruition on our campus.
I have completed my Masters of Science Education in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, along with the Integrated Leadership Principal Preparation Program.
