Welcome to our class!

Your participation, growth, and pursuit of excellence is required to have a successful school year. I encourage you to visit my website often to have a better understanding of our progression through the curriculum. Over to the right of this webpage, you can access homework and upcoming events. The textbook is posted below as well to assist scholars at home with homework and study time. If you have any questions and or concerns, please don't hesitate to contactl me using the following email address:

The successful scholar demonstrates mastery of the content and is missing no assignments. This scholar completes all work on time and turns it in as scheduled. This scholar participates in class activities and completes his or her part of the group labs. This scholart is well prepared for all tests and quizzes, and comes to tutoring if needed. This scholar makes up work when missed following an absence within 3 days.

Scholars, it is your responsibility to obtain and makeup any missed assignments when you are absent. You have three days to submit your work.

All scholars can be successful! The vocabulary list below will assist you in making that happen.

Word Wall Terms (definitions are provided in class; quizlet can be used to create flashcards for study; an understanding of these words support success on quizzes and tests)
