Below are links to each month of the 2008-2009 school year. As we cover topics in class, content will be added to the calendar. It is my intent to update this site frequently. All assignments, activities, labs (and PowerPoint's if needed) are to be downloaded from this site and completed by the due dates.

    Remember as stated in the syllabus if you are absent, it is your responsibility to check this website either at home or at school to find out what assignment you are missing on the days you will be out.
