And, welcome to Turpin's Class! I am very excited to be starting my 3rd year here as a Wando Warrior this year! I am very passionate about teaching Social Studies, since it IS the most important subject! Hopefully, once you've been around me for a while, you will realize that as much as I love teaching, I love only one thing more - to see my kids succeed. Each one of my students are important to me and I am never more proud than to see them fulfill their dreams, reach their potential or conquer a goal. With all of that said, let's just throw the obvious out there - we all get busy, there's no way in the day-to-day that we can remember everything that we need to. I'm not oblivious to the fact that this also includes school work! You have more going on these days and infinitely more distractions than students did in the past. This site is designed to help solve some of those problems for students in my classes. Your work is your responsibility. I will never GIVE you a grade, I don't do that, I'm kind of stingy that way... I don't like to give things away - so, you will EARN your grade in our class. It's your report card, it's your GPA, it's your future - you get to make it what you want, I'm just the guy that gets to be here to help guide and cheer you along! This page will serve as a way to contact me, to learn a little more about me and the classes I teach as well as a daily update to what's going on in class. If you're absent - check the calendar or the class Twitter feed, if you need resources, there are tons here... if you need ANYTHING - my contact information is all over the place - so get at me! And of course, all of this goes for parents too! Communication is key - lets ALL keep those lines open! Again, welcome to Turpin's Class... it's going to be a great year! Mr. Turpin |
