Welcome to the Algebra 1 page!

Remember that on Wednesday there will still be an assignment but time will be allowed in class or study hall to complete.  I will try to stay very close to this schedule but I may have to change due to weather and other scheduling conflicts that may occur.


Summer vacation is almost over :(

Student-Parent Orientation is this Friday.  The first full day of school is Monday, August 27th.
