Welcome to the new school year!
Welcome: Starting with the 2026-2027 school year, advanced English courses will combine English instruction with the district’s college and career readiness (CCR) program and critical-thinking components (ThinkCERCA). Students will continue to read literature and nonfiction, write in multiple forms, conduct research, and build the analytical and evidence-based thinking skills needed for success in advanced coursework and beyond.
Website: Mr. Skipper dot Com contains page after page of instructional and informative information. Use the searchbox to find what you're looking for.
Mobile Access: I spent the summer (2026) making the site more mobile/ user friendly. Hopefully, I was successful.
Grades: Parents and students should check grades on a weekly basis via Skyward. I will still send out grade information via email and SchoolStatus.
