Parental Guidance
If students are bothered by some of the monsters and creatures found in the Dungeons and Dragons game, then I won't allow them to use those creatures. I will not be using these things unless the students can handle them and even then, I may not.
We will also be using a free map building website that will require parents and or students to create an account to access and save their work. If parents don't want to use this resource, then I will use mine and students can direct me. ON this website there is both a very good free version and a pro version that I use. I leave that up to the parents.
Lastly, I will be using Google classroom to help post assignments and results.
