Gender Equality

Good Morning!

 Please put your cell phones completely out of sight for the FULL duration of the class.  Please do not have me remind you of this. NOTE: Please bring a book to class vs. reading a book on your phone. 

NOTE: Please keep up with your assignments as we go through this second semester. My blog HERE is where you check to see if you have missed an assignment in the event of an absence, not after it is posted on PowerSchool.
