What your child needs for class:

• A Scientific Calculator

• An up to date binder with a section for notes, quizzes, homework, and labs and class activities. This will help your child stay organized and prepare for tests

• Each student has a Physics Textbook to use as a resource. If they have questions about a particular topic they should read the appropriate sections.

• It is the student’s responsibility to request any missed work on the day of their return.

• Students can come to ACCESS on Tuesdays after 2nd period for extra help or to make-up assignments, quizzes, and labs.

• Science tutors are available all periods (1-7) except period 5.
