www.demott.weebly.com gets a facelift.
In lieu of the fact that many activities can clog communication, demott.weebly just got slimmer. All the great features are still available (always by request) such as the archives, the literatary analysis skills, even the political banners from Global Media Analysis' first election. But you no longer need to sift through them to get to where you need to go.
Always available via email at [email protected] or through the school at 757-648-5700, I'm happy to clarify anything that needs additional info. Thanks to my incredible students, I took a survey and listened to their suggestions.
So here is what you'll see...

Parents feel free to contact me using the Parent Contact form. Items will go directly to my inbox.
