Course Grades:

Grades will be updated frequently! It is the responsibility of parents/guardians  and students to monitor grades in PowerSchool.

Assignments for this course fall into two categories:  Artifacts, which include homework, classwork, mini projects and quizzes and Mastery Assessments, which include projects and tests.  Artifacts are worth 30% of the grade for the class and Mastery accounts for 70% of the grade for the class.  Each quarter grade is worth 50% of the final grade. 

ABSENCES

Students are required to attend all classes and will be counted absent if they miss over half the period.  If absent, students are responsible for getting all missed material.  If you know you are going to be absent, ask if you can get your work ahead of time.

Late Work

Artifacts:  These are DAILY assessments and practice that serve to prepare you for the unit’s mastery assignment.  These will be accepted only until the end of the unit.  Any work that has already been passed back with answers will not be accepted for a grade.  You can come to Flex Block for an alternate assignment.

Mastery:  If you are absent for a mastery assignment, you will make it up in class the day that you return.

Delta Math

We will often use Delta Math for our classwork and homework.  You will create an account and join Coach Rios’ class.

Classroom Expectations:

Respect our classroom time.

Put all cell phones in their designated area and get ready for the prepared lesson. BEFORE class begins.

Respect our classroom materials.  

Please be mindful that the majority of classroom supplies teachers have come from their own purchases. The things in my classroom should be treated how you would want others to treat your belongings. Ask me if there is something that you 

need. If I have it, I am likely to help you out!

Respect everyone in the classroom.

I have high expectations for how you treat me and your other classmates. WE WILL WORK together as a TEAM!

You are responsible for reaching your own educational goals.
