Dear Students & Parents,
As per your requests (and for the sake of simplicity), I am happily transitioning assignment/homework posts from edmodo to the school website. Anything prior to 9/16 will remain on edmodo for your reference. I have added the critical documents (syllabus, calendars, etc.) to the school website. Please contact me if you would like me to move additional content to the school webpage.
Thank you.
