Students will need a notebook for class. Material will be handed out in class and posted in google classroom. Each unit will consist of digital and print resources.

Grading: Each Semester we will have 6-8 Summative Assessments that will count for 50% of the semester grade. Additionally, we will have 10 -14 Formative assignments that will count for 40% of the Semester Grade. Summative Assessments can replace Formative Assignments grades. Students may reassess on Summative assignments provided that they come in for additional help. The highest a student can earn on a Summative reassessment opportunity is a grade of 90. There will be an ACE benchmark exam at the end of the first three nine weeks that will be weighed into the semester average as well. Students may not reassess on this exam, however it may replace one of your summative assessments if it is higher than your lowest summative grade.
