• Welcome to what promises to be an exciting school year. First and foremost, regardless of outside circumstances, your education is important to me: I will take every effort to make sure that you, the student, are the priority. This class represents both the continuation of your education in Algebra as well as a step toward higher-level critical thinking and problem solving. Much of what we will do in Algebra 2 is an extension of an Algebra 1 concept, so there will be many chances for review.

    CLASSROOM RULES:

    ∙Respect –Respect your classmates, yourselves, the teacher, and the classroom.

    ∙Phone Usage –Only permitted the last 5 minutes of class.

    ∙Snacks/Drinks are allowed, but you must clean up after yourself. This is a privilege, not a right, and can be revoked.

    ∙Use class time as directed.

    ∙Raise your hand to be recognized. Please do not speak out of turn.

    SUPPLIES:

    ∙Note-taking materials, e.g. pencil/paper, notebook/binder, tablet with writing capabilities.
