WELCOME TO 8TH GRADE MATH AND ALGEBRA

Hi Mustangs, I'm so excited to begin my 19th year of teaching as a member of Canyon Vista Middle School. I hope we are going to have a fun and exciting year and overcome challenges together. I'll do my best to help my students to enjoy learning Math and to be successful. 

Go Mustangs:)

Grading Policy:

Students will earn their grades based on the following breakdown:

• Daily Work/ HW - 15% 

• Quizzes - 25%

• Major Grades - 60%  (at least three per grading period)

Late Work/Redo/Retake Guidelines:

• Work submitted after the due date and before the end of the unit may incur the following point deductions. 

  • 10  points the first day; 5 points each day thereafter. 

  • Work submitted after the end of the unit test will not be accepted.

You will be provided with an opportunity to retake tests and quizzes if you score below 70.  The maximum score on any retake will be 70. In some cases, corrections will count as a retake to bring the grade up to a 70.

• You will have the opportunity to demonstrate mastery on assignments originally scored below 70% that were submitted before the end of the unit for a maximum score of 70%, 5 days before the end of the marking period.

*** I will post and update the grades on TAC every week by Monday morning ***

***Prior to retaking an assessment, a student should attend at least one tutorial session.***

***No extra credit assignments will be assigned.***
