Koontz, Sonoma - DVUSD Pathways

Class begins promptly at 6:00 pm and ends at 8:45 pm.

There are only 3 absences allowed in the Pathways program before you are dropped. No exceptions are made for work/sports etc. Please plan accordingly! 

Do not fall behind on work! Since each class period is equal to almost 3 full days of instruction, if you are not staying on top of your work, it may bury you under a mountain of catchup! 

You will need your iPad for this course - make sure it is charged, or that you bring your charger. 

This class follows the same curriculum as taught during a full traditional semester. 

The expectations for work completion, participation and attendance are very high. Show up on time to each class, and bring your best attitude!

Our course is located in Canvas, and assignments will be posted daily during the 2 hour and 45 minute class period Monday thru Thursday. 

All assignments are expected to be completed during class with no homework unless you are not managing your time in class appropriately.

I teach Earth Science at Boulder Creek

This is my 8th year teaching, and my 5th time teaching a Pathways class. 

I have a wonderful 2 year old son who is my world, and when I'm not at work, we are always outside exploring the awesome desert ecosystem we live in!
