Progress Reports

Note:  This year the Amphi district will be using a new grading program.  The parent access to this program is not currently running, but should be available soon.  As soon as the district software is working I will begin to publish grades online weekly.  For now please look for the paper copy of the progress report that I give each student every Thursday during class.  If for any reason a student does not receive a copy, there will be a message on the homework hotline.

Special Keyboarding Tips

Have you seen this little squiggly mark ~ ? 
What's it called?          How do you type it?

Use the numeric keypad on your keyboard 
to type these characters and symbols:

Another way to type symbols in Word is by clicking
Insert (found in the menu bar) then Symbol.
© ¾ ¢ ñ  and others

Math Tip: in Word type other exponents by holding down the Ctrl, Shift, and + keys, release,
then type the number key (not using numeric keypad). Remove the feature by again pressing Ctrl, Shift, and +    
Example:  4^{3
Another method is to click Format, Font in the Menu Bar. Choose "Superscript"
when typing or after highlighting the number.}
