Intro to Dungeons & Dragons

Have YOU ever been BUMMED OUT that Nat’s DnD class is invite only????? WELL GET EXCITED, this term I will be hosting a fully open Dungeons and Dragons class (as long as you have mature themes.) We will be going on a wild adventure written by yours truly in the wonderful world of Toril. However, unfortunately due to the nature of the game I will only be able to accept a maximum of 4-5 people so sticker wisely!

This class will accept everyone from proficient dungeoneers to level one newbies, in the first few weeks we will go over the components of character building, the basic rules, we will also all make our characters together, AND THEN YOU SAVE THE WORLD!!!!!!! But don’t think this class will just be messing around, every week (or session as i call it) I will expect 1 short paragraph (3-5 sentences) of reflection, session notes, noticing, or in-character writing about the recents events, etc etc.

Yearbook Class! Term II (Sieglinde)

Career & Technical Credit (CTE)

In this twice weekly, yearlong class, students design, lay out, edit, and print the 24-25 PSCS Yearbook. Over the course of three terms, students use community-process to decide on a theme to represent the school year, and collaborate to ensure representation of the student experience, student creativity, and to archive important local and global events.

In small and full group process, students create a timeline, track deadlines, write copy, take pictures, solicit content, and organize pages using a fun, accessible, online cloud-based marketing platform (Canva!). The final product will be professionally printed and shared with the community at the end of the school year,

Middle School students who register, commit to all three terms, as well as to participation, attendance, and respectful collaboration, will receive Elective Credit on your transcript.

High School students who register, commit to all three terms, as well as to participation, attendance, and respectful collaboration, will receive full Career & Technical OR Elective Credit based on your need.
