Trig - We are in review mode for an upcoming test, currently scheduled for Friday on Chapter P. However, depending upon the volume of questions, we may move the test to next week. Currently, students should be working on the Chapter P Review questions and Chapter P in-book Test.

All parents and students should be aware of great video help at http://www.khanacademy.org
