Profile:

My name is Jennifer Rickard and I teach algebra 1A, honors precalculus, and AP calculus BC at Deer Lakes High School.  I have taught at Deer Lakes since 2003.  Prior to Deer Lakes I taught at Burrell High School, Avonworth High School and Mount Lebanon High School.

Assignments:

Multiple types of assignments will be given throughout the school year.  All assignments will need to be turned in on time, late work is not accepted.  My philosophy on homework assignments is that this is a chance for students to practice, so homework will not be graded on accuracy but on attempt.
