<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear teachers and students,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been two weeks since the Distance Learning Program
initiated the new school year and we have been busy getting students
registered. If you were our student last semester, please contact the office so
we can get you started at (210) 397-7562. This year both new and returning
students must attend orientation in order to participate in the program. This week will be the last dates we will offer orientation sessions for October. We
are eager to assist you in achieving your goals and making this school year a
success. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

for you?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Distance learning is not for every student. It requires the
learner to be responsible for completing coursework and assignments in a timely
manner without the instruction of a teacher. Students must have basic computer
skills and knowledge. </span></div>

Happy Spring time! This is a wonderful time of year. Everything begins anew. We dust off the winter blues and look forward to warmer days.

At Northside Adult Education, we want you to not only get your GED, it is our mission to help you move beyond your GED into a great career. We look forward to speaking with each of you on how we can assist you in your future goals.<br />

Spring is a wonderful time of year for new beginnings. I am proud of all GED students who have passed their test (or parts) this Winter. Many students are on the road to completing their goal of getting a GED, and you should be one of them! Distance Learning Teachers work hard to help every student obtain their goal(s). We have heard many great stories from our students about how determination, drive, and (sometimes) outright stubborness got them through their GED courses. It is not an easy task but once you have accomplished this first step in your career, the world opens up to you! Please continue to share stories with us, let us know your goals and dreams, and work with us to help make it happen for you. Spring 2013 a new beggining.</span><br />

<br />
The Mayans have miscalculated the end of the world! Now, relax and concentrate on your 2013 education goals. <br />
The Adult Education program assist students in achieving their goals. Students attend the distance learning program to improve their English, get a job, maintain a job, or get a promotion. Also, students who attend Distance Learning may consider transitioning into college. The Adult Education PACCT Program assist students with transitioning into higher education. For information regarding PACCT, please contact the office at 210-397-8109.<br />
If your goal is to get your GED, then this is your year! The GED Test will change in 2014 and any test(s) taken in 2013 will no longer be valid. So, let's work hard together to make sure you are a part of the GED Class of 2013. We look forward to a great and successful year! Congratulations for beginning anew in Distance Learning!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last month of 2012, let's go out with high spirits and good wishes! We hope that everyone has a wonderful and enjoyable Holiday Season! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We will remain open until <u>December 20th</u> to keep you on track with your DL program throughout the month. The DL Office will reopen on <u>January 7th</u>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We would like to remind all of our GED students that as of December 2013 the GED Test will change. The present version of the GED will end. If you </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">do not complete all five subject areas, you will be required to begin the new GED testing in January 2014.

Time to cool off from the summer days. Fall is a great time of year, right after the long hot summer and before long winter days. Oh, I forgot, we are in San Antonio so we usually skip winter in South Texas. What we don't do is skip the opportunity to help our students be successful in their goals! There is much to do over the next few months to get your education in the right gear. ABE/ASE students will be taking their GED test this month. If you feel you need more time, talk to your teacher about taking an Official Practice Test (OPT) first. If you began the semester in August, it is almost time for you to take a Post-Test. The Distance Learning teachers will notify you when you have completed hours to test. <b></b><br />
<br />

October 2 - DL New Student Orientation <br />

<b>A reminder to all students:</b><br />
In order to remain in Distance Learning, a mimimum of 6 hours of online work is required per week. If you are unable to keep with this schedule or do face-to-face visits with your teacher, please contact the office. We will work hard to assist our students in meeting their educational and career goals. Take advantage of the free workshops and online learning opportunities available to you for free. I hope everyone has a fun fall season! <br />

<br />
I would like to thank all the students and teachers who have put so much effort into distance learning. For the student, it is a dedication to their education. The distance learning student must be an independent learner. Our DL students are determined to start a brighter future by continuing their education, working collaboratively with their teachers, and using the resources DL has to offer. The distance learning instructor is equally dedicated. Your teachers work day and night to make sure you are getting the online instruction and guidance you need to fulfill your educational goals. Success in DL is a joint effort of both educator and student, whether it be obtaining a job skill, a GED or going on to higher education. We are dedicated to ensuring that our students reach their educational goals. <br />
This month we will be continuing with our DL Writing Workshop and DL Conversation Club. Please register with your teacher or the DL instructional assistants if you are interested in attending one of the workshops. There is limited space, so first come first serve.<br />

<br />
We are in full Spring Bloom this month. San Antonio had serious rain showers and thunderstorms usher in the Spring 2012 season, so now we can anticipate lots of bluebonnets and daisies this month. April is not usually a holiday month, but there are many happenings in 2012: Easter weekend holiday, taxes are due and Battle of Flowers Parade. It is our hope that you find time to enjoy April, but remain focused on your educational goals!<br />
<br />
Distance Learning kicked off the Conversation Club and Writing Workshop for DL students last month. It has been a great success. DL students are getting the extra help they need, plus they are able to meet and work with other DL students in the program. The Conversation Club and Workshop are on a first come first serve basis, so make your reservation as soon as possible.<br />

<strong><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">February is now behind us and time to think about new beginnings for Spring 2012! We had more than 15 GED graduates this Winter. We are hoping to exceed that number in the next couple of months. There have been changes in the teaching staff this Winter, which means that many of you now have new instructors for your program. Our Distance Learning program had four instructors who moved on to fulltime positions, we wish them well and thank each one for their dedication to the program. This month we will continue with our Conversation Club for DL ESOL students. The Conversation Club gives our ESOL students an opportunity to practice their oral language skills with peers. We will also begin a GED Writing Workshop. The workshop is designed to assist the students with their writing skills while applying them to real life situations. We have a workshop in the morning and one in the evening. There is limited seating so please contact your teacher or the DL office for reservations. Dates to remember for Spring 2012:</span></strong><br />

We hope you had a relaxing vacation. It was a long break but the DL teachers are ready to get you back on track! Many of you never stopped, and we appreciate the dedication towards reaching your goals. There is quite a bit of information to share with all of you this month. Many of the teachers have changed their program assignments. More than likely, you will have a new teacher this semester. We have had many students inquiring about the time frame for classes, obtaining a GED, registering for the GED and hours for the Distance Learning Program. So let's get started...</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> <strong><u>1.</u></strong> Time frame for classes; As of right now our DL program had funding to last for a minimum of 12 weeks.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> We will be open our regular hours from February 6th until May 4th. These dates are subject to change, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">we will keep all our students notified and the blog updated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><u>2.</u></strong> The hours for Distance Learning will remain the same, Monday through Thursday 9 AM to 7 PM, Fridays</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and Saturdays 9 AM to 1 PM.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><u>3.</u></strong> Teachers now have the capability to Skype with students. Please see your teacher to register for a Skype</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> account. All students should have received a Gaggle account upon registration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><u>4.</u></strong> Obtaining a GED does not have a particular time frame since this is an Adult Education program; it is on an </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">individual basis. Some of our students complete the program within a couple of months, others take their </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">time. We are here to accommodate your learning needs regardless of time. Remember, our program has </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">regular classes in the day or evening in case you feel this alternative style of learning will better serve you in reaching your goals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><u>5.</u></strong> Registering for the GED has stringent requirements by the state. Please visit the following website for </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">up-to-date information: </span><a href="http://nisd.net/ace/agedtestingfa11info.htm"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">http://nisd.net/ace/agedtestingfa11info.htm</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><u>6.</u></strong> New phone number for Distance Learning appointments: 210-397-7562</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><u><strong>7.</strong></u> Teachers will meet with students as needed through Skype, chat sessions on Gaggle, email correspondence, IM, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">a few teachers have face time accessibility, text messaging, and/or face to face appointment sessions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><u><strong>8.</strong></u> Teachers will also be conducting mini-tutoring sessions throughout the semester with 3-4 students at a time. If you are interested</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> in participating in these sessions, please contact your teacher.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We hope to have a great Spring semester. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Happy Valentine's Day!</span></strong><br />

In San Antonio, everyday is day to celebrate! Get out and about to enjoy the season...not to mention the phenominal New Year Eves Party held downtown every year!!
