Students and Parents,
It is my pleasure to inform you that each student enrolled in Chittenango High School has now been set up with an email account that is specific to our district. These are gmail accounts and can be utilized to send and receive emails from other students, teachers, and staff within our district. A freshman email will look like this: [email protected] (Example: [email protected]) The password for this account would be: 17DS000??? (Capitalize the DS ; it represents the students first and last initials. Instead of the 3 question marks, the student will use the last 3 digits of their student ID number.) Students who share the same first initial as a sibling would use their full first name. Example: [email protected] and [email protected] Useful Google tools for school: *Gmail *Google Drive *Google Calendar *Google Play *Google Chrome *Google Music Player Use them wisely. They are monitored. -Mrs. Coller

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
by Dylan Thomas Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rage at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. It is clear to me that some of you have little experience creating outlines. Below you will find a link to a worksheet (in PDF). Please print this out and practice outlining. Maybe this will help you understand how to organize better.
