New web site

In the past, this page was the main way to get to information about Mr. Affolter's class. I have decided to switch to canvas, which is more interactive. I will leave some of the archived information up, but keep in mind, the most up-to-date information (including grades, assignments, etc.) will be found at https://graniteschools.instructure.com (after you log in).
