This can be checked online using their access codes.

  10. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just pour in our knowledge? Of course not! According to Jacob Weatherly a former student who received a full scholarship to Harvard speaking about Mr. Frye’s class, he suffered, struggled, then discovered. The point is that learning requires hard work and commitment. We need to help our students make learning math important. How many times do we correct grammar, but never talk about or play with math?

  11. Overview of Important Stuff Check it out!! ALL policies are available on WordPress HLS is a GREAT tool when used correctly Use tutorials if needed MathCounts and Science Olympiad programs MAKE MATH IMPORTANT
