Registration for my classes has opened. In District or Out of District, all of my classes will be open for registration either online or by phone (805-494-5156). If your charter school has sent a PO, you are automatically registered and do not need to register online or by phone. Blue Ridge Academy students must register separately from Blue Ridge as CRPD's vendor status has been delayed. CRPD will reimburse you once the vendor status is fulfilled and a PO is in hand. Non-charter students should register online or by phone on Monday August 11 at 9 am. If you have sent a $100 deposit/lab fee to me and have gotten on my list, you are guaranteed a spot in class. I know this is complicated. If only this was as simple as chemistry! Some spots are still available in Thurs Chemistry, Tues Nanoscience, Mon Physical Science, Biology and Physics.

UC A-G Accreditation News!
University of California A-G accreditation is becoming the norm in some charter schools. If you want UC A-G accreditation for a high school class, please let me know as soon as possible. I will be closely following A-G programs and for those who want this option.
A-G requirements differ with each charter.
