Assignments / Agenda

I will post daily assignments/ agendas in the comments below. All handouts and forms need to be accessed via Google classroom

Many assignment due dates will be posted on the Google Calendar above for those items assigned specifically via Google classroom. However, there are assignments that are posted in google classroom that need to be turned in with a hard copy. These assignments will not show up in the above calendar.
