How often do you give homework?
We do work in class almost every day. A student usually has something to
turn in the next day. Check the Homework section.
When can a student get help?
Before or after school. I arrive at school at about 8:00 AM and I stay unitl
4:00 PM. I can come sooner or stay later if you let me know.
When is the best time to call?
You may call me anytime and leave a message, but I am available to talk from
8:10-9:30 AM and from 3:30-4:00 PM. The School's number is 564-2213. You
can also e-mail me at the link above.
What kind of calculator should I get?
If you need just a basic calculator for Algebra 1B or Algebra
2, a scientific calculator that can do fractions will work.
If you are looking into getting a graphing calculator, a TI-83 or 84 or
someting similar should do the job. Some peopleget their graphing calculator
off of ebay, or garage sales. I am not saying to do this, but you might
save some money.
What is icing?
ICING
# ICING RULE For the purpose of this rule, the center red line will divide
the
ice into halves.
# If a player shoots, bats or deflects the puck from his/her half of the ice
(behind the center red line) and it crosses the goal line, play will be
stopped for icing.
# If the puck enters the opposing net, the goal is allowed, unless batted
with
a hand.
# Any contact with the puck after it crosses the red line nullifies icing.
# Icing is nullified if the puck is playable by a player from the
non-offending team (excluding the goaltender).
# No icing if the offending team is shorthanded, must be equal or greater
strength than opponents.
# Icing is complete the instant the puck crosses the goal line.
