What To Know About this Website

I update my website WEEKLY (usually on Sundays) for the upcoming week. Each update will include a link to the previous week's newsletter as well as the homework assignments for the week. If homework plans change during the week, I will do my best to provide the updated info ASAP. Students should expect to have homework most nights (Mon-Thu), and will only be required over weekends or breaks if students are missing work.
