After-School Math Practice

Starting Monday, November 6, we will be offering students an opportunity to reinforce and improve their understanding of math fundamentals through independent online work on the Khan Academy website, using the school's laptops, under the supervision of Mr. Blake Myers. This supplementation will help your child to fill in gaps that may be present in their math background on concepts that otherwise won't be covered in their regular classroom.
