Daily Routine:
Each student is expected to:
1) Arrive to class on time.
2) Come prepared to class with his/her notebook and a pencil.
3) Complete the problem(s) of the day located on the whiteboard.
Grades:
Grades will be calculated by a weighted point system. Grades will consist of assessments (75%) and classwork/homework (25%).
Assessments:
All tests and quizzes are derived from problems solved in the notebook and classwork/homework assignments. Tests and quizzes will be announced in google classroom, the classroom whiteboard, and verbally to the students by me. A review sheet will be provided to students before every test. The review sheet is identical to the test and should be used as a study guide. If a student misses instructional time he/she will not be required to take the test on the test date.
Classwork/Homework:
Classwork/Homework will consist of worksheets and IXL assignments. Classwork/Homework will be graded on completion. There is NO partial credit for incomplete work. Students can receive half credit on IXL assignments that are turned in late.
Notebooks:
Every student must maintain a notebook for the entire year. Notebooks are expected to be organized. The notebook should be separated into three sections (notes, worksheets, problem of the day). A sample notebook is on display in the classroom.
Online Grade Access:
Test and quiz information will be updated as soon as the assessment is graded. Grades will typically be posted the day after the assessment. Classwork/Homework is updated on a daily basis. Grades will only be updated to CSIU.
Progress Reports:
Every student will be issued a progress report approximately half way through each quarter. The progress report must be signed and turned in the following day. The progress report will include all Classwork/Homework assignments, quizzes and tests to date.
Calculators:
Every student is assigned a classroom calculator during the school year. Students are responsible for damaged or lost calculators.
Absenteeism:
Upon return to school, it is the student's responsibility to turn in missed work. Failure to complete the missing assignments will result in a zero. Work for absences must be completed prior to the respective chapter test for credit. Students should check google classroom for their assignment(s).
Extra Credit:
There is NO extra credit.
Electronic Devices:
Electronic devices are NOT allowed in the classroom. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Food and Drinks:
Food is NOT allowed in the classroom. NO EXCEPTIONS! Water is permitted in the classroom.
