'dedicated' to History. You can also keep old handouts and returned tests / papers in this binder.
Grades are posted in the classroom - updated at least once per week and following all major
quizzes and tests. Scores can also be accessed on-line through ESIS.
Parents: You can easily keep in touch with what we are covering in class by asking to see the latest
