Students: Look here for current homework and labwork assignments.  Make certain you are up to date with all of your work, and if you are absent for more than one day, call Mr. Manzo for more details of what is being covered in class.  See below for links to helpful websites.
CHECK GRADE REPORT EVERY MONDAY FOR ALL OWED WORK. PLAN TO STAY AFTER SCHOOL ON ANY TUESDAY IF YOU OWE LABS OR NEED HELP.

Assignments: Our Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, & Landscapes Test is now March 1-2.  Dynamic Crust unit requires a LOT of studying of vocabulary terms.
