*It is important that you complete all of the reading assignments, because all of the weekly quizzes are based on the readings and are a major part of your grade.
*All assignments are due two days after they are assigned unless otherwise indicated. You should pay particular attention to the assignments over the holiday periods and their due dates. If you miss any assignments, or have any questions concerning the assignments, please let Mr. Calogero know as soon as possible.
*Some chapters listed in the reading assignments are followed with pages in parenthesis. Those pages are the areas of concentration, but you are still responsible for the information in the entire chapter.
*Keep in mind that this schedule is subject to change.
