Algebra 1 Honors

 Basic Info about the Class

⬇

 TEST RETAKE POLICY : 

You are limited to ONE retake per quarter. (Keep in mind that you will have between 4-6 tests each quarter) Retakes should be scheduled within two weeks of the day I hand back the graded test. You only qualify for a retake if your original test grade is at least a 50% and below an 85%. If you are ever caught cheating on a test throughout the year, your retake privilege will be revoked for the remainder of the year.

 ATTENDANCE POLICY : 

For a full year course, 20 absences or more will be subject to denial of credit. (NRCSD policy) When absent, submit a note to the attendance office if it is an excusable absence.

TARDINESS POLICY:

Three tardies = 1 absence. (NRHS Policy)

1 tardy = +1 strike (3 STRIKE POLICY; see bottom of this column)

Being late to class will lead to detention, or a written disciplinary referral if the offense is repeated.

Tardiness of 15 minutes or more is considered cutting class and violates the building code of conduct. ( cutting class= +3 strikes)

 PHONE POLICY :

Phones are not to be used during class.

Phone Use during class without prior permission = + 1 strike.

25-26 update: Based on NY State Law, any phone seen outside of a Yondr Pouch will result in a disciplinary referral and will be reported to an AP.

 3 STRIKE POLICY :

3 strikes = lunch detention w/ Ms. Reynolds

4+ strikes = disciplinary referral + call home

Strikes are tracked using a sign-in sheet, kept in the classroom.  (Clean slate each semester start date.)

Note: any behavior infraction, or break in code of conduct, may result in +1 strike. 

Also note: the "3 STRIKE POLICY" is a Ms. Reynolds policy, not an official NRHS policy.
