July 2

Welcome to Zeta Homeroom!

We are looking forward to a productive four weeks together. Please be sure to ask for help or information as you need it.

We've been asked not to have food or open drinks in the computer lab. Bottles with screw-top lids are fine. We understand that people who work in the morning may not have eaten lunch. If you need to eat, try to take a quick snack break after we stop whole group instruction and begin working individually.
