<strong>Dear</strong> <strong>Incoming</strong> <strong>Seton</strong> <strong>Student</strong>,<br />

can always do your assignments from school, or <strong>at</strong> a public library.<br />

To help you be more successful next year, the m<strong>at</strong>h department requires a review before school<br />
