Creating College Board and Khan Academy Accounts Scholars: All of you want to do well on the important college entrance exams. Well, you need practice, diagnosis of your areas of weakness, and recommendations for improving. You have the unique opportunity of connecting your College Board account with your Khan Academy account, so that you can practice in your areas of weakness and increase your PSAT/SAT, even ACT scores. (All standardized tests assess similar skill sets.) First, you must set up a College Board account by going to CollegeBoard.org: https://account.collegeboard.org/iamweb/smartRegister?excmpid=MTG248-ST-1-app . Next, set up your Khan Academy account: https://www.khanacademy.org/signup Then watch a youtube video on how to link your Khan Academy and CB accounts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlveV0131Cw Additional Help:  https://www.khanacademy.org/sat

All Classes: Always bring a 3-ring binder with loose-leaf paper to class. In addition, you should have a folder for handouts, a pen, a pencil, an eraser, and a highlighter. If you like to use Wite-Out correction fluid, you should bring that as well. For when we write papers during class on the computer, you should have a flash drive to save all your work. Any day, I may check agendas, objectives, words of the day, vocabulary assignments, notes, etc. If you do not have the required information, you will receive a grade of zero on that day. Notebook checks are an easy way to earn a grade. Having a well-organized notebook will help you become more disciplined, focussed, and orderly--excellent qualities for college and/or the working world.

Attendance is essential in a college course:   Your final grade will be reduced by 10 points for every four unexcused absences. For example, four unexcused absences would reduce a final grade of B to a C, and eight unexcused absences would reduce a final grade of B to a D. If you receive a D in this course, you do not receive college credit.   For every excused absence, in addition to having your parent or guardian call the Attendance Secretary, you must provide a note from your parent/guardian/physician that explains the legitimate reason for your absence.

My father, who passed on April 12th, 2014, was a man who believed in supporting education. He was the son of Irish immigrants, the first person in his family to achieve a college degree. He taught me that education was one of the most important gifts I could give myself. My dad spent his life giving to others, especially through his dedication to immigrant students and those who may not have had access to the same financial and support services as others. He was on the Board of Directors for the Notre Dame Education Center in Boston  and was instrumental in helping the Sisters of Notre Dame obtain a new building for their school.  In his memory and as a testament to his legacy, I hope to continue my father's mission by establishing the  Henry J. Mulhern Scholarship Fund. Current Location of NDEC--Boston Information about The Henry J. Mulhern Scholarship The scholarship began in the 2014-2015 school year (continuing on a yearly basis), and is awarde...
