Offical notice from Mr. Mendizza:

 The deadline to have senior projects in to me is January 25th.  I will not accept emails from students if they are dated AFTER january 25th.

 

It is important that the students RENAME their file with their first and last name.

 

Students need to put their first and last name in the subject heading of their email.

 

In the body of the email, please indicate if it is a powerpoint file, or if another program is needed to operate the file.

 

I will NOT be accepting files via flash drive because they contain viruses and it is too time consuming.  email only.

 

Doors will be locked when presentations begin.  Students late to their presentation room will not be allowed to present.
