How do I contact Ms. Beer?

You can email me by clicking on the mailbox icon (lbeer@acsdny.org) at the 
top of the page. You can also call the High School at 845-486-4860 and leave 
a message for me. I'll call you back as soon as possible. I usually make 
calls in the evening, so if you can, leave an evening phone number.

Can homework/labs be handed in late?

In Regents Physics, many assignments can be handed in late, but not all. I 
will give a small amount of credit for a late homework unless it has to do 
with a lab homework, then there is no late credit. Lab reports can always be 
handed in late. I take off two points (out of 25) each day it's late. 
In AP Physics, nothing can be handed in late.
