General Schedule[edit | edit source]
In general our schedule is Monday through Friday, 9am to noon and 4pm to 6pm. Some days (usually Fridays) will be field trips during which we will not have an at home lunch break (so bring a lunch). In addition, a lot of time will be spent on your projects (and homework). Please let me know if you need me to meet with your team at any other times. Below is a more current calender as well (removed as the summer 08 semester is over).
