Welcome!

Welcome to the inaugural post of the new class blog. As mentioned in the description, you will be able to find new class information (changes to class rules, last-minute assignment changes, etc.) It is also meant to provide me with an additional form of contact between you and your parents. I will be sure to identify posts when they apply only to parents and when they're only meant for students. General posts are for everyone.

You will have the opportunity to post comments in response to a post. But first, some ground rules.
1. Since the purpose of this blog is essentially informative and educational, try to keep your comments on topic.
2. Your parents will be checking these posts and comments as well, so keep the language clean. Parents, I would ask that you do the same.
3. Students, if you want me to answer your question(s), please identify yourself. While I may address anonymous questions, I will concentrate on those from identified students/parents first.

Folks, I essentially assume that you will use common courtesy in your interactions on this blog. However, if I need to, I will add to or modify these ground rules. Otherwise, enjoy the class and I look forward to the year.
