      mathematical terminology)

This page contains valuable information regarding a wide variety of assignments, events, and student works of art.  It will compliment our monthly newsletters.  Further, please use the links on the Board page to help you in most subject areas.  The internet address is:  http://www.haltonrc.edu.on.ca/student/
Please use these as organizational tools to "keep you on track."

* I have added four new websites (freeworksheets.com) which you may link to below...Although the site doesn't allow you to work online, the worksheets can be printed and worked on.  Many have answers keys for self-evaluation.  Gook Luck.

Please enjoy this page.
