End of Semester

Hi All,
A few notes on the end of the semester. Homework has concluded for all math classes. There will be no assignments outside of class time for the remainder of the semester.

Pre Algebra:
Students are participating in a scale modeling project during class this week. They will be assigned points based on the accuracy of their scaling and drawing.

Algebra:
Students are participating in the mid term exam. Students should be studying 15-30 minutes each night on chapters 1-5.

Final grades for the quarter and semester for all classes will be posted to power school as I am able to finish them throughout the break and no later than January 9. Check PS from time to time for updates.

Have a restful break.

After School Help Hours

Hi All,

Starting next Monday, 12/10, I will no longer be available after school for students to receive additional help as I will be coaching the FD wrestling team from then through the end of February. Students can still get extra help before school in my room, or they may attend any after school study hall.
