FAQ's

Do I have to show work?

Yes. You will never be marked down for showing your work. However, you frequently will be marked down for NOT showing your work. If the assignment requires the use of a calculator, then write down what you typed into the calculator. If the assignment requires mental math, then write down your thought process in words and/or numbers.

When are the tutorials? Tutorials are usually 3 to 4 days a week, at lunch and after school. Please make an appointment or arrive in the first 10 minutes of lunch for help.

I was absent and do not understand the homework. What should I do? Will Mrs. DeMarco tutor me during class on my missed lessons? Unfortunately, there usually is not time. The class needs to keep moving through the curriculum. You can check your notes, the textbook, online help or your study buddy. If you still have no idea how to do the homework, then please see Mrs. DeMarco at the next available tutorial. She makes herself available during lunch and after school.
