Dear Math Lab 9 Parents /Guardians:

WELCOME to Math Lab 9!

I am excited to be working with your son/daughter! There will be great benefits to having an additional time to focus on math and the skills it takes to be successful.

I am providing you with course information as we (Nonlinear Algebra Teachers) envision this course. But please know that it may change as the needs of the students change throughout the school year.

After reviewing this information, please contact me if you have any questions.
