Extra help: Not everyone understands everything at first. After listening in class, reading the book, and/or attempting to do a few examples, it is common not to understand the concept. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. I will be available for extra help everyday after school in room A34 except for the days I have to attend meetings. If you cannot make it during that time please let me know to schedule an appointment.
Parent involvement and Communication: Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any comments, questions or concerns during the school year. My hope is that each student is successful in this class and I look forward to working with you and your student to achieve that goal.
