Just as a reminder, students cannot make up labs if they are absent, but they can take detailed notes and complete the practice sets for full credit.  I would love to hear any feedback or questions you or your student may have as we move forward in the year.  Feel free to contact me via email at any time.

Thank you again for sharing your wonderful student with us this year,
