Algebra 2
Hello students and parents:
Looking forward to meeting all of you soon. Grading this year will be based on the following.
Quizzes: Count as 65% of the quarter average. All quizzes are out of 10,15, or 20 points. The weighting depends on the length of the unit. Instead of a unit test, I will break it down into several quizzes. We usually have 4-5 quizzes per quarter. There are a total of 13 units. Cheating on a quiz is an automatic zero this year. ( and a phone call home ) No notes on desk during a quiz. ( or written on arms ) If a student is cutting the day of the quiz, it is also a zero. ( if it appears as a cut on IC )
Phones will be collected every day. Students will place in the caddy at front of room at the beginning of class.
HW: Counts as 20% of the student's average. Everyone starts off with a 100 HW grade each quarter. (20/20) Miss one and you lose 5 points off your HW grade and it will be recorded on Infinite Campus promptly. ( ex: 19/20 = 95 ) I do not assign a lot of HW, so this shouldn't be an issue. This way parents can see if their child has any missing HWs in real time. I don't grade the HW, I'm just checking to see that the effort is there. HW will be treated as a quiz in the overall average.
Participation: Counts as 15% of the student's average. Everyone starts off with a 100 Participation grade each quarter. (15/15) I will count this as a quiz grade in the overall average. I will do periodic notetaking checks at the end of class. No notes and I will take a point off your Participation grade. ( ex. 14/15 ) I will also include putting phones in the wall caddy as part of the participation grade. Refusal to do so is a point off the participation grade as well. Refusal to stop talking in class is a point off the participation grade.
Algebra 2 is a rigorous course that requires a good attendance record. Please encourage your son/daughter to attend daily. Calculators will be provided daily in class when needed. Maintaining a math folder to store notes and graded quizzes is recommended.
Bathroom visits require blue pass along with a school ID.
Extra Help every morning from 7am-7:25am. No appt nec. The door is open. ( 634 ) Notes will be posted daily on GC.
Please check Parent Square as well for important messages.
