1. You will receive a mass email from Lashae Tucker on July 15th. If you want to return for the fall session you will need to respond to that email. Please let me know if you do not receive that email.

2. Please update your contact information in Essential Ed (phone # and email), even if it has not changed. This will ensure that you receive notifications that go out during the break.

3. Please email me at karen.yarbrough@metrotech.edu with any questions you may have or if you need help during the break. Even though we are on break from in-person classes does not mean that you have to go it alone.

I am starting a game/promotion next week to motivate you to continue studying and working in you Essential Education program. The rules are as follows:

For each week that you log at least 5 hours of instruction time in Essential Education between July 8th through August 2nd you will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 gift card. The drawing will be held on the first day of the next session, August 6th, in class and you must be present to win. That means you will have the opportunity to earn a total of 4 tickets for the drawing! You have all worked hard to make progress during this session! Don't let the break cause you to stumble in reaching your goals. Be determined and you will be successful in the end!
