Greetings and Welcome to justinboyd.net.As of the beginning of trimester 3, 2012, this website will no longer contain up to date class information for each of the classes I teach.
Although the purpose of this site was to create a place where students and parents could easily stay informed of what occurs in class on a given day, that purpose has not always translated into practice. As a result, each class will now have its own website. If you arrived looking for resources, class summaries, or deadlines, please select the link below that is associated with your class.
