Dear DA students,
I hope your finals week at NCC is going well. You have successfully completed two years of calculus this year. Congrats! If you are taking the AP Calc BC exam I recommend getting some tutoring so that you can be ready for the exam. While you have learned a lot of content you haven't learned the nuances of the exam and what the College Board is looking for. Therefore I have recruited Ben Harste to help get you ready for the AP Calc BC exam. The exam is on Monday, May 24th.
Mr. Harste will tutor you from 7:50 - 9am on Tuesday 5/18 and Thursday 5/20 on Zoom. On Monday 5/17 I will give some example Free Response Questions for you to work on so that you can practice with the College Board format and have that experience when you meet with Ben. On Wednesday 5/19 I will give you a previously released multiple choice exam. I have reserved the red flex space at Jefferson for us each morning. You can participate in the tutoring and FRQ practice online or in person. Ben and I will send out Zoom links for those of you who want to participate virtually. However I will not be able to administer the released exam online. The College Board won't allow it.

May 18, 2020 Dear DA STEM 9th and 10th graders and their parents/guardians, Congratulations on completing spring semester at Normandale in the Dimensions Academy STEM program. You excelled in your college coursework - during a pandemic and when all instruction was moved online! Roger and I were very impressed with how hard you worked under these new learning conditions. Additionally, we were thrilled to see how well the Normandale professors adjusted their teaching to online. We were happy with the level of rigor they were able to maintain. Grades: I am pleased to announce that everyone in both cohorts earned As and Bs in their college classes this semester. Normandale is offering their students the opportunity to take their classes pass/fail but my recommendation for you is to take your grade. There are 2 benefits to taking your grade: 1. It is doubtful that 4 years from now colleges will give you credit for ...
