Does my child have to have a calculator for your class?

We will not use one very much in Algebra 1 for a while. We will, 
however, use them a bit more toward the end of the 2nd nine weeks 
and beyond. I suggest every student get a TI84Plus Silver Edition.
Adv. Alg and Trig students and Calculus students should all have 
one on day one.

If my child has such good homework grades, why is their average so low?

Homework and classwork counts 30% of the total grade. Assessments 
make up 70%, as they should.

How much homework should we expect to see?

In Algebra I, parents should see homework 2-3 nights a week. In 
Advanced Alg and Trig(AAT) and Calculus, it will vary. AAT will 
sometimes have homework several nights a week and sometimes we 
will go for several days without it. No matter though, students 
should put in 30 minutes a night even if we do not have homework. 
A lot of Calculus work will be done in class.

Is there something a parent can provide (supplies) to help Coach Prince?

JUST MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS HAVE SUPPLIES. I DO NOT LOAN, GIVE, OR 
SELL ANYTHING - EVER.
