Welcome to Mrs. O'connor's English courses
at Petaluma High
My goal as an educator is for each student to become
a competent and compassionate communicator
by developing skills in reading, listening, thinking, speaking, and writing.
All students are encouraged to read a wide range of literature and nonfiction texts
to explore what makes their place in our human history and culture intriguing and unique,
and to discover their own voices in order to relate their individual experiences to others.

Welcome to our 2023-24 school year at Petaluma High
Greetings to all. I hope everyone who is visiting this site is doing well and enjoying the school year so far. All students should be using Google Classroom and my email address ([email protected]) to get assignments, submit work, and ask questions. You may also call the front office at Petaluma High, (707) 778-4652, and leave a message so that I may address your concerns in a timely manner.
Be safe and be well.

On this site, I have linked several resources that students will be using throughout the year. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at [email protected].
I am looking forward to our educational partnership this year.
Current course content and grade updates will be found primarily on Google Classroom and Aeries. Aeries can be accessed by any PCS parent or student with a district account.
Google Classroom must be accessed with a student's district gmail (petk12.org) account.
There is a feature in Google Classroom that allows a parent/guardian
to get email updates from that site for those who wish to receive them.
Check with me if you would like to know more.
Grades in Aeries are updated as often as possible throughout each semester. Remember that these are always "in progress" grades until we reach the end of each grading period and the semester, and grades will fluctuate as classwork, homework, essays, and tests are entered. Students may always check with me during class or during Academic Plus or may email me with any questions about a grade.
