Make-Up Day

Here's a neat article from the NY Times about graphing and college, that I think is appropriate for the end of our school year and for those that are thinking about their future. The interactive graph is a pretty neat feature. Enjoy and Have a Great Summer!

Textbooks, Missing Notebook Scores & Redemption

If you still have an outstanding textbook return it on Friday or you will need to take care of it with the lost book people. They will charge you $80-$120 for the book.

If you have an outstanding notebook, send me a picture of the completed Problem Notebook Form and your Final Exam score will replace it.

If you participated in Redemption submit your supporting documentation that was given to you in December so I can support the change. I am still looking for Julia, Karen and Eric to submit theirs.

Have an Awesome Summer and remember Physics is going to happen!

Be safe and make good choices.
