Daily grades - 40% 2 days late - 30 points off

3 days late - 50 points off 

Assignments will not be accepted after the test over that topic.

Tutoring times - other times may be available by appointment

M,W,Th- 4:15 to 4:45 p.m.

Other times are available by appointment. 

Phone Policy: There is a new “No Phone Use Law" in the state of Texas. Phones and other electronic communication devices are not allowed to be visible anywhere on campus during regular school hours (8:10 - 4:15 p.m.). If on campus, they must be kept in a backpack or purse.  Phone Use Policy for Joshua ISD ;  Consequences for Usage of Communication Devices.

Procedures: Students will be required to take notes over the lessons. If they miss class, videos of the lessons along with a copy of the notes are available for them in Google Classroom. Notes will be kept in a small binder or folder.  This year many of the assignments for Geometry will be done online using various websites (Google Classroom, TeacherMade, DeltaMath, Edia, etc.) There will also be some paper assignments. Any assignments not finished on the day given will be due at the beginning of class the next day. Students are expected to work problems out on paper, even if the assignment is online. Therefore, they will need a pencil and paper every day.
