Listed below are recommended materials for students
taking Pre calculus. These materials are not required, and full
participation in the course does not require the purchase of any of these
materials. State law requires us to provide a public education free of charge.
Subject to certain exceptions, the right to a free public education means we
cannot require students or their families to purchase materials, supplies,
equipment or uniforms for any school activity, to pay security deposits for access,
participation, materials, or equipment, or to make donations to a class
activity or program.
Materials for EACH class: pencils, math notebook, a math folder or
binder, calculator or graphing calculator, graph paper and this syllabus.
