Homepage:  This is the first page you will see when my site pops up.  This page is particularly important for both students and parents because I will post important announcements and due dates for all of my classes.  Typically, this will happen within the first week of a new chapter or unit.  I will send out an update e-mail so you know to check.  However, I recommend checking occasionally to make sure these important dates are on appropriate calendars.

Documents: This page will contain documents that students can download and print whenever they are needed.  Students will always receive a hard copy of anything they need in class.  However, if that copy is lost then it is the student's responsibility to get another one from my site.  I have tried to organize these with helpful headings.  I will also attach important documents to my update e-mails to parents and students.

Events: This is where students and parents will find homework assignments.  Just click on the name of the class and a description of the assignment will appear.

Links: This is where students and parents can find links to on-line resources or helpful web sites.  I will show these to students in the first week of school and will let them know when I add new ones.  This is a good place if you need an on-line dictionary!
