HELP LABS: STUDENTS/STAFFTuesdays After School 3:45 – 4:45 and Thursdays Before School 7:40 – 8:40. Kindly sign up the day before so I can plan to be here for you! (Also, ask for a morning pass for Thursday mornings so you can get into the building.) If I have to cancel a lab I will do my best to get it into the daily intercom Announcements ahead of time.

LATE WORK DEADLINES Mark Your Calendars. After 4:00 p.m. on each of these days I will no longer accept late, extra credit, absent, or make-up work until a new quarter begins. I will continue to accept current, prompt, and on-time work until the actual end of each quarter. 2011-2012 School Year: Q3: March 1, Q4: May 17
