Muhlenberg Middle School
Math Class Policies
Mr Stambaugh
Attendance: Be on time to class, sit in your assigned seat, and follow the directions on the board. If you miss class for any reason, all assessments and assignments must be made up within 3 school days. The assignment that was due on the day of your absence is due on the day you return.
(For virtual, please attend class at the scheduled time. If you can not attend, you will need to make up your work and fill out the google form in google classroom).
Grades: Your grade will be calculated based on the following categories:
Quarter Grade
45% Summative Assessments (unit tests)
40% Formative Assessments (quizzes)
10% Homework
5% Classwork/Projects
Re-Take Policy: 62% or below: students must retake the assessment
63% - 69%: students have the option to retake the assessment
If a student re-takes a test, the score will be no higher than a 70%.
Classwork/Homework: Classwork/Homework will be assigned most days and is to be completed for the following day. Most assignments will be done online. Every homework assignment will be checked for a grade. You will receive full credit for earning a 70% or higher, half credit for turning it in late with a 70% or higher, and no credit for an incomplete.
Calculators: It is important that all students have a scientific calculator (there is an online calculator in google classroom they can use)
Materials Needed: When we are no longer virtual, bring a pencil, an eraser, and earbuds to class
every day. Your workbooks will be provided.
Questions: Most importantly, ASK questions. If there is anything that is not clear or that needs further explanation, immediately raise your hand and let me know. Most likely, several of your classmates will have the same question and be glad that you asked. If you know the answer to a classmate’s question, please be patient and courteous. If you need extra help, please let me know so that we can arrange a time.
PARENTS/GUARDIANS: I encourage open communication between us throughout the school year. If any questions or problems arise, please do not hesitate to call (610-921-8034 x3203) or email (stambaughs@muhlsdk12.net).
