Mark Hertz
English/ReadingHello and welcome to my
school web page! My name is Mark Hertz
and this is my seventh year teaching at Lemon Bay High School. I have been in the education profession for
17 years teaching many subjects at different levels. I am primarily an English teacher, holding a
Master's Degree in English with an emphasis Teaching Writing (Composition). Before Lemon Bay, I taught at L.A. Ainger
Middle School here in Englewood, eight years at Six Rivers Charter High School
in Arcata, a small rural town on the north coast of California, Freshmen
Composition at Humboldt State University, and Humanities at Academy of the
Redwoods in Eureka, CA. My beautiful wife and I are the parents of two amazing boys, and we love living in southwest Florida!
Though we continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, the bottom line is that Charlotte County Public Schools, Lemon Bay High
School, and I will do whatever we can to make sure your student is safe. At the same time, I will strive to provide
the best education possible.
I have designed my web page to provide parents
and students with the information needed to be successful in class. in the unfortunate event your child is sick or
must say home, I want to make sure they will have access to the lesson plans
and assignments. The past few years, assignments were available online through Google Classroom. This year our district is switching to the Canvas learning management system which will be fully functional within the first few weeks. There is no code to join a Canvas classroom; it automatically populates through a students Classlink account.
I will continue to use Remind as a way to "remind" students of important due dates, assignments, tests, and other events. Remind codes are populated by the
district automatically via the parent phone number used when registering your student.
Lesson
plans will be uploaded to this site on a weekly basis so students and parents will have
outline of assignments completed each day in class. I will also post weekly lesson plans on the board in my classroom--students can easily take a pic of them every Monday as yet another reference/reminder.
The district has updated the COVID-19 decision tress and this information is available on the CCPS website. There is also a COVID-19 dashboard if you are interested in this information. At this point, wearing masks is optional. Your son or daughter has every right to wear or not wear a mask. This decision is up to the parents--at this point in time.
As always, I can be reached at
mark.hertz@yourcharlotteschools.net. Please don't hesitate to call me if
you have any questions or concerns. Thank
you!
