**Parents** : Starting September 9th: Tutoring begins Tuesdays & Thursdays from 2:30pm-3:30pm.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Students are not required to use a mobile phone, a tablet, or a computer in class.
In-Class Practice (Classwork): Students will complete in-class assignments given by the teacher on paper and will work in class (unless instructed otherwise). Assignments will be submitted at the end of the class period. This grade is worth 25% of the student's final quarterly grade. Students are not allowed to use their phones in class for any reason.
Homework Practice (Big Ideas textbook): Students are recommended to write all Big Ideas Math Online homework in their notebooks, and the answers may later be done online and will be assigned through Schoology only. This grade is worth 20% of the student's final quarterly grade.
DEADLINE for Online Assignments: Students must meet all deadlines. After the deadline, online homework (Big Ideas Math) may result in a penalty of receiving only 70% of a regular grade. Students will receive a "Z" and if students submit a late assignment only 7 days after the original deadline, the grade may be considered by the teacher to be changed. Students will not be able to make up for the late assignments during the 4th Quarter.
THREE INCOMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS in the same quarter may result in a REFERRAL and/or PARENT CONFERENCE.
IXL is MANDATORY WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT (Only MONDAY through FRIDAY) Students must do FIVE (5) different skills minimum weekly (Algebra 2 level) and reach a minimum of 60% on the Smart Score on each skill. (Students must use IXL every week, Monday-Friday except during vacations - Saturday and Sunday will not count or any level below Algebra 2). Failure to complete the minimum requirements mentioned before, will result in a grade of "Z". A score of Z means that the student did not complete the weekly assignment as instructed. Basically, students will get a 100% if they comply with the weekly assignment requirements and will get a Z (Incomplete) if they don't. Students may not make up for incomplete work from previous weeks. So, please do not miss ANY OF THE WEEKLY STUDY/PRACTICE ASSIGNMENTS.
LOGIN TO IXL: Students must go through the STUDENT PORTAL and then go to Schoology, select the math class, and click on the IXL link on the left margin. Also, students may access it through Schoology. In case the previously mentioned does not work because the Student Portal Server is down, students may try to access this app on this website on the homepage.
TESTS are worth 50% of the quarterly grade: Types of assessments will be Lesson Tests, Mid-Chapter Tests, and Chapter Tests. (Note: There is not an EOC or End-Of-Course test for Algebra 2).
All online assignments will be posted through Schoology.
