Welcome! My name is Mrs. Williams, and I will be your child's AP Literature and Composition teacher for the 2018-2019 school year. It is going to be a wonderful year, and I look forward to working with each and every one of you. I believe that an integral component associated with achieving success is open communication; thus, this website will enable myself, the teacher, and you, the parent/guardian, to interact with one another on a frequent basis. This website will provide important information about upcoming assignments, due dates, and links to helpful AP materials. The site also contains a link to the course syllabus and the associated signature page: the signature page must be signed and dated by both the student and the parent/guardian. The signature page is due by Monday, August 27, 2018.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send me an e-mail at the following address: [email protected]
