As a reminder, all students must wear belts with their pants or shorts. For more information and answers to your questions about dress code policy please open the link below.

*Note* - Please do not skip ahead on the math homework. The math workbook pages are, of course, listed for the week on the homework log. The pages assigned for each day are strategically selected and they match what is taught in class on that day as close as possible.
