General Announcements
Parents, please remind your child to review the school supply list below to make sure they have everything they need. Students will serve a lunch detention if they come to class unprepared. I cannot always warn them the previous day about particular items that they will need for our math activities, therefore, it is very helpful if they bring all of their math supplies with them to class every day.
Click the link for " School Supplies " below to find out what you will need to have with you in math class.
Any student who wishes to improve a test/quiz grade may study again and retake the quiz/test. I will average the two grades to get a final grade for that particular test/quiz. This is not an option with homework assignments.
