General Information for Parents

• Read the file at the bottom of the page to learn a bit about me.
• Please check Dashboard frequently for your student's grades. It is updated daily! If you have a question about an assignment or a grade please check with your student first before contacting me.
• I am always available for extra help before school, after school, or during team time. Simply contact me via email or ask your student to set-up a time to meet with me.
• I assign homework assignments daily. Typically, I check homework for completion, but I will collect it on occasion to grade for accuracy. Each homework assignment is worth 2 points, and I do not accept late homework. If your student misses class, the assignment is entered into the grade book as a zero until he or she approaches me with the assignment. Missed work is the student's responsibility!
• If there is a required Problem of the Week, remind your student to start it before Thursday night. Students have an entire week to complete these graded assignments and waiting until the last minute does not allow time to get questions answered.
• Bonus opportunities are also available on this site from time to time. See the Bonus tab.

Tips for Helping Your Student Study

• A review sheet is given before every test. Students should study the review sheet problems. The best way to study math is to practice it! Therefore, it can be helpful to try the problems multiple times! Answers to the review sheet will even be posted on the announcement page of this website!
• Try homework problems again. Students should have all answers to the homework and will now be able to go back and try those problems for a second time.
• Study the vocabulary chart for the current unit. Flashcards are a great way to do so!
• Review important class notes and investigations.
• Review any past quizzes from the same unit. Learn from the mistakes made!
• If calculators are permitted on the assessment, practice locating the important buttons on the calculator with your student.
• Check out the Extra Practice resources on this website for that particular unit. This includes trying anything on Khan Academy or in the online text.
