Travis County Student Poll Workers

If anyone is interested in being a poll worker for Travis County on November 8th you can click on the link below. Travis County pays $10/hr and you will need permission from Ms. Crescenzi since it will be an absence. For B day students you will be missing a lecture and you will need to make sure your electoral map is turned in before you leave.

Electoral College map project resources

Over the next few days, Ms. Pettigrew and I will be handing out your Electoral College map project, which is due on election day (Nov. 8).  Please find below some links to helpful resources to complete this assignment.  There are certainly other sites doing predictions, forecasts and polls, but these should provide you decent place to start.  Please let me or Ms. Pettigrew know if you have any questions about these sites, the assignment, or the electoral process in general.

First Six Weeks Exam Recap - MOVED to Wednesday FIT

Hi everyone -

Sorry for the confusion and the late notice on this, but we're going to have to move our exam recap session from Tuesday FIT to Wednesday.  Apparently there's a mandatory junior assembly on Tuesday, so you'll all be learning fun stuff about class rings or something.  Anyway, if you want to go over your exam with me or Ms. Pettigrew, please sign up for one of the Wednesday FIT sessions.
