Because of the restricted class time, and amount of information to be covered, we ask that you please check this site and read/look at the classes during the week prior to class. This will allow for us to move along faster, as well as give you time to think about the class and questions you may have for us. Afternoon and evening sessions cover the same material but often different questions. You can attend either or both sessions.
PLEASE Bring these Items to EACH Class:
Also, Check out the Completed Homework page! Scans from our students will be posted as we receive them. If you have scans you would like to include please send them to us! Let's show off what we are learning!
Also, if you notice any broken links or info that needs to be changed in ANY way please email the teachers. We want to make this site easy to navigate for everyone!
