Mathematics - Where it all adds up!
Pre-Algebra
2006-2007 Academic School Year
Welcome to the Pre-Algebra 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.
