Signed Syllabus
Download 3rd_nine_week_syllabus.doc
Getting your syllabus signed is a very important part of your grade. It shows that you and your parents are aware of what goes on in the classroom as well as my expectation from you. The syllabus is the only grade that I will accept late for full credit, but I will not make more copies as I have gone through 200 already. You may print a copy on your own, get it signed and return to me for credit. Here is the link
