Week 4 and the Zero Hero

Hey there Team!

This past week was rather hectic. Delayed starts and snow days hamper the feel of the school week pretty well; but, hopefully things will be more normal and full this week. So let's get into work mode! I noticed that quite a bit of you were out sick sometime last week. I hope that you guys are feeling better this week. If you aren't feeling well and it's affecting your performance in class please let me know immediately so that we can talk to your teachers about it. 

On that note, I want to bring something to your attention. When you are absent it is your responsibility to turn in the work that was due the day you were absent and to ask for the homework or assignments that were given that day. Your teachers have a lot of students so they cannot be on top of you everyday. If you do not do this, then it is very likely that you will get a F (0%) on those missing assignments (some of you will notice this if you look at your current grades). Yes this hurts a lot (remember what we learned with Jay about averages)! 

I will be contacting those of you that are failing classes this week. I will also speak to your teachers to see what can be done to ensure that you do not fail. But, remember that I see your grades after they have been submitted, if you know you are missing something that has yet to be inputted speak to your teachers and see if you can still turn it in.  I know one of you missed the deadline last week, so please don't let this happen again. 

This week I will also be working on College Knowledge activities with each of you. So we will be working in a sort of hybrid between former interns' CK activities and the new CK activities. If you have any question feel free to ask. If not, we'll jump right into it! 

Have a good week team!

Best,
Roberto
