     This page contains the tentative schedule for Accelerated physics for each quarter and copies of each assignment that is not copyrighted.  Be aware that I reserve the right to change dates and assignments at any time for any reason including student need, school events, weather events or simple whim.  What I do in class will always take precedence over this page.

Please also know I will not accept the assignment not being available on this page as an excuse for you turning it in late or as a reason to allow you to turn in the assignment after the collection date.  This page is meant as a convenience not a right on your part.  Your failure to plan ahead is not does not mean I have to change the rules.
