Algebra Syllabus


Teacher: Mrs. Winnick
Algebra/Geometry
Spencer Van Etten High School


September 4, 2013


I would like to welcome you and your student back to school! I am looking forward to a successful and fun year of learning. I hope to challenge all of my students to perform at their best levels in mathematics and in life.


For homework your child has been asked to go over this syllabus with you, and return the slip below with your signature and theirs. It is important to me that you know what is going on in class, and what expectations your child will be held to throughout the year; your signature simply ensures that you have been made aware of these expectations.


This year is sure to be an exciting and challenging one for all. I hope to meet you soon, and hope that your child will have a successful and rewarding year in Algebra. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me

Thank you for your support,
Mrs. Winnick, Algebra
