Scroll to the bottom of this page to see the current week!

Starting Today (5/7) until EOGs students will have practice HW and every week we will review a unit for the EOGs.  Attendance is very important this time of year.  Every day missed makes it that much harder to catch up.

Note: If you miss class for any reason, it is your responsibility to get notes from a classmate and pick up class handouts in the makeup trays.
