The students will not have books to take home. Honor students will be pulling sections out of the book as we will use them and will be responsible for not losing them because they are placing them in a 3-ring binder that is 2 to 3 inches wide. If an honor student does lose their packet, they will need to print a new copy on their own printer. I am allowed one book per student.

I will be asking that each students keep a 3 ring binder (2 to 3 inches thick) with extra graph paper. We will be tearing out the different units and keeping them in the notebook. As needed by limited space, I will request that students take notes or show work on graph paper to be inserted in the appropriate location in the notebook. Each student will keep their Springboard text in Ms. Jones' room with their name on the spine of the book in a designated area.

Each student should have plenty of pencils, erasers, notebook and graph paper as we will be using these all year.

FYI-The pacing of the curriculum this school year is very strict. If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to come to tutoring to get their notes and to set up a due date for their homework on the day they return to school.

I will expect ALL students to check in with me daily using email, Remind, Google Classroom, and/or video chat. I will post videos of lessons for the students to watch and take notes that are to be used when working the assignment for that lesson. If a student has questions about the video, I will expect them to ask those questions during the daily video conferences. We will essentially have a flipped classroom while distance learning.

When meeting with Ms. Jones in a video conference you are expected to be engaged and attentive. I would ask that I actually get to see your face as your camera is turned on so I can verify it is you. During the video conference I expect you to ask questions, take notes, answer another students question, and be respectful. I will also require you to follow dress code while in video conferences. When you enter the video conference, you are to be muted. If you unmute yourself, please ensure that the background noise is as limited as possible. Only unmute yourself, if given permission. If you enter a video conference and become rude, disruptive, or inappropriately dressed you will be removed from the session.

If a student watches a video lesson and they feel that they have a complete understanding and don't require any help from me, then I will ask that student to email me and their parents to inform them of their decision.
