Virtual Learning Program
Secondary VLP Family Update - Monday, October 5, 2020
High School Author Visit
Randy Ribay will be speaking to our high schoolers on Monday, October 5th at 1:22 PM. Many of you read his book, Patron Saints of Nothing, for your summer read. Keep scrolling for an author bio and summary of the book. I LOVED this story and hope you will join me on Monday! I will post the link on Monday before 1:00 PM so all students can attend. Most of our high school students read his book Patron Saints of Nothing over the summer, so this promises to be a valuable and enjoyable experience for all.
Middle School National Geographic Speaker
Middle School students will also have a virtual visit from National Geographic Explorer Sarah Pope on Friday, October 9. Sarah’s visit will begin at 8:45 am and all students are expected to attend. You can read more about Sarah and her body of work here. The link for this event will be posted on Schoology prior to the start of the visit and will last approximately 45 minutes.
VLP Student and Meeting Expectations:
Each student will be receiving the VLP participation agreement this week. Students and parents will need to sign the electronic form acknowledging the VLP participation expectations. There will be a communication sent as soon as the form is ready for your review and signatures.

When not teaching she enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with her family. Much of her free time is now spent with her grandaughters Adelynn and Anni
Debbie Barron: I am Debbie Barron and I am entering my 21st year of teaching, 14 of those being in New Albany. I graduated from West Virginia University with a double master's degree in Special Education in 2005. I have been married to my wonderful husband Dwight for the past 6 years and we have recently added a mini goldendoodle named Sadie to our family. I look forward to working with all of our students, parents and staff this semester!
