Welcome to your Junior Year!

Welcome Back!  

You have just 2 years to go until graduation - I hope you are committed to making this year your best yet in all of your classes!  Colleges will look very closely at what you do this year, so now is the time to perform as well as you did last year or improve greatly if your grades need it!

As a reminder about the supplies you need for class every day:
- 1-subject binder/loose leaf with plenty of paper.
- Standard blue or black pens (at least 2 in case 1 runs out.)  Work is only accepted in standard blue or black pen.
- A working highlighter (any color!)

You need to have at least paper, pen, & highlighter starting tomorrow, 9/8, and all supplies in class as of 9/17.

Let's make it a successful year!!
