Agendas were issued weeks ago and are expected to bring to class every day. Students are to write down their
homework assignments in the agenda as part of our class daily routines. Please check with your cadet to verify
that they received their agendas as this is also another form of communication that we will utilize to keep you
update as to what is going on in our class.
