It would be a good idea to briefly review what we have learned so far. We will be studying Chapter 4 (Properties and Components of Vectors) next week. Remember if you ever need help, I am usually in the conference room (by Ms. Carr's office) during fourth period, and in my classroom seventh period. I would be glad to help you on an individual basis or in small groups. Bring a note from the teacher whose class you will be missing, and sign the sheet outside my door so I know how many (and which students) to expect. I am also here until 3:30 most days.

Hello, students and parents! I'm so excited about the upcoming year here at Pike Liberal Arts School. My number one priority as a teacher is to facilitate growth. I'm here to help, and I will do my absolute best to encourage students toward success.
In order to succeed in this class, students will need:
Pencil
Paper
Good organizational and time management skills
Scientific calculator
The scientific calculator may be as simple as you like - you can get them at the Dollar Tree for a dollar. If the student knows he or she would like to go into a scientific or mathematical field in college and would like a more advanced calculator, that is fine. However, ANY CALCULATOR MORE ADVANCED THAN A TI-83 WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN CLASS.
A syllabus will be sent home on Friday to be signed by the student and parents and returned the following Monday.
Homework assignments will be posted here daily, and Edline will be updated weekly.
Students, I encourage you to register for the ACT if you have not already. Take it as many times as you can - most of the time when students retake the ACT, their scores go up. This test can make a world of difference in your life - starting with college and ending who knows where. Don't take it lightly.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me at rlowe@pikelib.com.
Thank you,
Robyn Lowe
