Dear Level 1 Students,
PCC is closed until May 4, or maybe until the end of the term (June 8) because of the corona virus. Everyone needs to stay home if possible, and stay safe.
STAY HEALTHY. Wash your hands a lot. Cough and sneeze into your elbow. Stay home if you feel sick. Call your doctor if you have a fever or if you have trouble breathing.

We will have class online for most or maybe all of this term. Please check your email and your phone for messages and texts from me. I will tell you how to join our class meetings.
We will study English together this term!
Moving up to Level 2:
- Most students stay in Level 1 for two or three terms.
- Level 2 is harder than Level 1, so you must be ready. You need good English skills and good student skills.
- At the end of this term, I will tell you if you are ready to move to Level 2.
- I will consider your English skills, your attendance, your class participation, and your homework
