Online Resources
Open Up Curriculum Resources: Open Up Site (resources for both families and students)
Google Classroom: Every day, I will post an announcement on Google Classroom with the day’s activities, assignments, video recaps, or links to resources. This is a great place to check if your child is absent or needs a new copy of an assignment.

Grading Scale
The grading scale is:
A
90- 100%
demonstrates success with current grade-level learning targets
demonstrates the required grade-level skills with no major errors
B
80- 89%
demonstrates some success with current grade-level learning targets
demonstrates the required grade-level skills with some errors
C
70-79%
demonstrates partial success with current grade-level learning targets
making progress but has not mastered what was taught
D
60 - 69%
demonstrates limited success with current grade-level learning targets
needs help to make progress
F
0- 59%
demonstrates little to no success with current grade-level learning targets
needs a lot of help to make progess
MIS
lacks evidence
missing work that needs to be turned in
Assignment Expectations
Assignments are important practice opportunities to develop skills and knowledge related to learning goals. Assignments will be scored and recorded in the grade book but are used as a monitoring tool only. These assignments will not be used when determining a final grade. It is vital that all assignments are completed by the due date, so students can practice a learning goal and receive feedback before new concepts are introduced. Missing work must be completed.
Assessment Expectations
Assessments are used to determine what students know and are able to do. These assessments will determine a student’s final grade for the term. Assessments (tests, projects, etc.) should be retaken when a student performs below expectations (a score less than a C).
Parents: Frequently Asked Questions
How can I keep track of my child’s progress?
Your child has set up a Google calendar, which is a place for them to keep track of daily activities and assignments in math class. In my Google classroom, you can follow the posts with daily class activities and links to assignments or resources used in class. Online family access to the grade book allows you to monitor your child’s scores on assignments and assessments. Progress reports will also be emailed out weekly in CARES, which will keep you updated on your child’s scores and any missing work in math class.
What if my child is not mastering the learning standards?
Some intervention time will be built into the regular class period for students who need extra practice to master a skill. However, students may need to spend additional time and receive additional support beyond the regular class time. Online resources are available such as Khan Academy. You could also use the resources posted on Google Classroom for additional help. Students can set up a time to work with me at lunch or after school. The 3rd Hour WIN class will also be a time for students to get intervention help in math.
I am here to do all I can to help every student succeed this year. All I ask is that students keep a positive attitude and give their best effort, and I will strive to make math fun and a meaningful experience this year! Please contact me anytime with any questions or concerns.
