This, the web page for the school year 2008-2009, is for both students and parents, and will continue to be updated regularly. It does contain links to handouts, vocabulary, and supplementary research sites for students to access. VISITING this web page and reading its updates is expected.

Students remain advised that there is a 9:00 pm email rule for the most recent communications for the course; students should check regularly once the course begins for last minute information.

Students should check out the "Useful Links" at the bottom of this page to familiarize themselves with the resources available for this course. These are ENORMOUSLY HELPFUL !
