Expectations

·      Prepared - Class starts at the bell!  This means students have all materials ready to go, working on the bell work, and have the assignment out before the bell rings

·      Respect - Respect for everybody and every thing.  Golden Rule.

·      Integrity – Hold yourself to high expectations...behavior and performance.

·      Dependability - Expect an assignment EVERY day. Time will be given in class to begin homework.  Share responsibility with me in seeking help when confused.

·      Effort - "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."

Planners

·      Students will need to fill out their planner everyday with CW and HW

·      This is the main source of student responsibility

·      Students must have a filled out planner to use the restroom or get a drink!

Daily Work

·      Students will work independently, in pairs, and in groups.

·      I encourage students who are struggling to stay after school for extra help.  I stay after school long after the bell when available.  The Math room runs Tues, Wed, Thurs from 3pm-4pm and is available to all students.

·      Assignments will be collected Wednesdays and Fridays.  Parents will be notified if more than two assignments are missing in a unit.  Parents/students will also be able to view missing work on SchoolVUE/ParentVUE.

Notes

·      A three-subject notebook (just for math) will be needed in order to organize notes, assignments, and problem of the days. 

·      Notes will be given on the board; students will be expected to copy these into their math notebooks.

Grading

·      Practice (daily assignments, worksheets, notes):  20%

·      Performance (tests, quizzes, projects):  80%

·      Retakes – 
      Mandatory Retakes - score is below 75%
             -Finish all homework (no credit after test)
             -Meet with me to see if any extra practice is needed
             -Set up a date to retake (must take within two weeks of the test)

      Optional Retakes - student is not satisfied with their performance but scored above 75%
             -Meet with me to see what type of problems you need to practice
             -Set up a date to retake (must take within two weeks of the test)

·      There will be no extra credit given in this district.

·      Late Work – Points will be deducted by 25% for late work. You can see any late assignments in the gradebook and if it is a pattern, we can discuss a plan to resolve the issue.
