Daily Routine:

1) Arrive to class on time.
2) Come prepared to class with his/her notebook, homework, and a pencil.

Grades:
Grades are determined by a point system.
Tests and quizzes: approximately 300 points
Homework: approximately 50 points
IXL assignments: approximately 30 points
TOTAL POINTS: approximately 380 points
Tests and Quizzes:
All tests and quizzes are derived from problems solved in the notebook and 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.
Homework:
Each homework assignment is worth 2 points. Homework assignments will be posted in google classroom and on the classroom whiteboard. Late homework will NOT be accepted for any reason. Assignments not turned in at the beginning of class on their due date will be recorded as a zero. Partial credit will be given at the teacher’s discretion. Students that are absent should check google classroom for their assignment.
IXL assignments:
Each IXL assignment is worth 2 points. Students will be required to reach mastery for credit. Assignments not turned in on their due date will be recorded as a zero. Half credit will be given on completed 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. 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 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).
