Welcome to school year 2009-2010! This year we will focus on fostering a culture that will enable students to be ready for the paths they choose to follow after graduation may it be college, technical school or the work force. In addition to the course objectives, the following skills will be reinforced to benefit students now and in their futures. They are: following directions written and spoken, personal responsibility and accountability skills. With these skills in place success is right around the corner. I look forward to meeting and conversing with all parents this year.

tutorials will be offered monday through thursday during lunch or after school. Appointments can be made the day before or during the day they would like to come . Students can also call me at home for immediate help with homework or questions about missed work.
