Your class calendar below features colored bars that span dates. The left end of the bar tells you when work was assigned; the right end tells you when it is due. A bar on a single date tells you that the work was done in class and turned in. Click on any bar for detailed info.

To see your period's calendar full-page, hover your mouse over the TOP RIGHT of it and click on the grey box.

Try not to miss many classes; you are responsible for all the work, which often means missed assignments and tests must be made up on YOUR time -- lunch and before/after school. To be sure that I’ll be in my room, though, you should make an appointment.

Students should always bring a binder/folder to collect handouts and other papers, something to write with (pens AND pencils are recommended, but not red ones) and something to write on. A calendar or planner is quite helpful. Quite often, students should also bring the novel we are reading. I do NOT provide supplies; students who forget should immediately ask a friend for help.
