Welcome to Mrs. Trolinger's web page! I would recommend adding a bookmark for this page so that you can return here often. I try to update my page daily with information about the assignments we do in class. It's a great resource for parents to see what students are learning. Students can use it for links to their work when they are absent. There are links for students to be able to finish assignments for homework that we started in class. It's also a great resource for students to review material from class or just rewatch a really cool video. Please come back often.
