Review Sessions for First Six Weeks Exam

We will have three review sessions next week for our upcoming exam - 

Wednesday, Sept. 19 - FIT in 272 (sign up for Pettigrew's or Vanover's FIT, limited to 50 students)
Thursday, Sept. 20 - after school in 274 (3.50pm to 4.30pm)
Friday, Sept. 21 - before school in 272 (7.40am to 8.10am)

As a reminder, due to the change in the A/B rotation, your exam dates are Monday, Sept. 24 (A) and Tuesday, Sept. 25 (B).

Reminder - Social Studies makeup room

Now that we have a few in-class assessments under our belts, just a reminder that if you miss any in-class graded work (e.g. exam, LEQ, SAQs, mystery docs, etc.) you need to make that up during our regular makeup times unless you make special arrangements with your teacher. 

All APUSH makeups should be completed Tuesday at lunch or Wednesday during FIT in room 276 (Ms. Aguayo's room).  Report to 276 during the appointed time, tell the teacher there what class you're in and what assessment you're making up, and that teacher will provide you the materials you need.  If you're planning to take your makeup during FIT, please sign up for Ms. Aguayo's FIT session.

Let your teacher know if you have any questions, or if for some reason you aren't able to make up your assessment during one of these times.  Under extraordinary circumstances makeups may be scheduled at other times.

Welcome to APUSH 2018 - Midterm Madness Edition!

Welcome to a new year of LASA APUSH!

First, Ms. Pettigrew and I are happy to welcome a new member to the APUSH team, Ms. Jessica Vanover.  We're really excited to have her here at LASA and teaching APUSH with us this year.

We're also glad all of you will be joining us for this historic year of midterm elections and special counsel investigations and other political shenanigans.  Hopefully, we'll be able to make sense of it all together, and also learn some US history at the same time.

Please refer to this site throughout the year for information about the course, announcements, class handouts and assignments, and the official course calendar.

Enjoy your last few days of summer, and we'll see you all on Monday or Tuesday for the first day of APUSH!
