Virtual High School - Foundations of Personal Fitness B - Coach Buckley

Welcome to Virtual Learning through The Colony HS! I’m Coach Buckley, the
teacher for Virtual Foundations of Personal Fitness B.

I am the new Head Volleyball Coach here at The Colony. This is my 4th year
teaching and coaching, but my first year at The Colony and I am so excited to be a part
of Cougar Nation! I am a graduate of Hebron High School and then went to North
Carolina State University where I played volleyball on a full ride scholarship. After
college, I came back home and received a job teaching and coaching at Hebron, where
I was the last 3 years. Along with coaching volleyball, I teach PE. I am so excited to
have you in this course and that I get to be apart of your personal journey into fitness!
:D

I have sent invitations for our meetings to your Webex Teams. Use the Webex
link from the email or from here: https://lewisvilleisd.webex.com/meet/buckleyr to access
our meetings. They will be Tuesdays and Thursdays and are for questions, so they are
usually short and sweet. Be sure to be logged in at least 5 minutes before the
scheduled time: 3rd period will start at 1 PM and 4th period will start at 3 PM.

For us to have a successful meetings virtually, I have a few reminders:

○ Log on early. It might take a few minutes to load with the high levels of
activity.
○ Be dressed appropriately if your camera is on.
○ Mute your microphone until it is your turn to talk.

Daily attendance will be taken 3 different ways. IN ORDER TO BE COUNTED

PRESENT EACH DAY YOU MUST DO AT LEAST 1 OF THE FOLLOWING 3 THINGS:
1. Complete the Attendance Question/Quiz on Canvas. You do not have to
answer the question correctly in order to be counted present. It may be submitted
after the “due time.”
2. Active in Edgenuity for my course.
3. Contact me via email or separately in Webex.

Assignments and Due Dates - Can be found on Canvas under the module “Edgenuity
Assignments by the Week.” (Please ignore percentages in Edgenuity). I will update
grades and unlock the next assignments on Sundays.
Grades: Skyward is our official gradebook..NOT Edgenuity and NOT Canvas. The only
thing on Canvas will be Attendance Questions and those will not affect grade, just
attendance.

My email address is buckleyr@lisd.net if you need anything!

On Webex, if you have a question or are contacting me, send a separate chat please.

I’m looking forward to meeting all of you tomorrow! :)

Sincerely,
Coach Buckley
