Students and ParentsFind the class you need listed above (or click MORE to see those not listed). Go to the page for the class you are enrolled in. If you need to contact me, use the form on this page.
Assignments and handouts are on each class page. Students are responsible for finding assignments and getting handouts when they are absent. If a student knows he or she will be absent in advance, work is still due. It may be submitted to my mailbox in the morning before school or sent with another student. This is particularly true of field trips--you were at school to board the bus, so you can be responsible enough to turn in your work! In case of emergency, it can be e-mailed to me as an attachment. Late policy: Students have one week to turn in late assignments to receive maximum of a "C." After week has past, no credit will be given. Recommendations: For letters of recommendation, provide me with the information listed in the document below.
