Calculators

All students will be using a calculator in math. It is the responsibility of the student to bring his/her calculator to class on a daily basis. However, mental math is also an important skill that we emphasize. Therefore, there will be times when students will not be allowed to use a calculator. Teachers will make students aware of these times.

*You may NOT use your cell phone calculator at any time while in class.

Technology in the Classroom

All cell phones will be turned off and put away once in the classroom. This includes everything except calculators and GCPS issued chromebooks unless otherwise instructed. If a device is to be used in the classroom, your teacher let you know. *Students are expected to bring their charged school-issued Chromebooks to class everyday. Code of Academic Integrity Students are expected to produce their own work and perform with integrity on all assessments. Cheating and plagiarism will result in consequences.

Assessment Remediation

Retake opportunities will be available on each Quick Check.
