Requirements:

  • Textbook – Must be covered at ALL times. You must have your textbook in class everyday!!!
  • Calculators – A graphing calculator is required for this class. The TI-84 is recommended. If this is a problem, please contact Mrs. Aloisio, the math supervisor. You must bring your calculator to class every time we meet!
  • Binder – I recommend getting a 3-ring binder. I give a lot of handouts, and everything is 3-hole punched.

Procedures:

  • Be in your seat and working on the Do Now when the bell rings. The Do Now will either be on the front board or on a worksheet that you will pick up when you walk in. I should not have to ask you to start this exercise.
  • If you finish the Do Now, I will have the answers to the homework on the board. You can start checking your homework and making corrections.
  • Have all necessary materials with you (pencil, homework, notebook, textbook)
  • Always sit in the seat that has been assigned to you. If you have an issue with your seat, come see me after class, and we can figure something out.
  • Listen to your classmates and listen to me. Respect and courtesy should be shown at all times. You will also probably miss something important.
  • ASK QUESTIONS!!!

Grading:

  • Your grade is broken down in the following way:
  • 90% - Tests/Quizzes/Projects (Summer Assignment Quiz: ______)
  • 10% - Homework
  • Homework – will be checked on a random basis. You will not be notified the day before when homework is going to be checked. It is your responsibility to complete each homework assignment and SHOW ALL WORK! Credit will not be given if work is not shown! It not only is a part of your grade, but also is an essential part of being successful in this class. I will make the best effort to go over all types of questions in the homework after the Do Now.
  • Classwork/Preparedness – You need to come prepared to class. You need something to write with, something to write on, your homework, calculator, and textbook. If you do not have these things, you cannot complete necessary classwork, so these two things go hand in hand.

Other Stuff:

  • Extra help will be offered by appointment. Just let me know when you need help. I am available before school, 1st period, 6th period, and I have a study all in room 865 8th period.
  • If you are absent, you are responsible for the work from the time you were absent.
  • If you are absent the day of a test/quiz, you are responsible for that test/quiz the day you return.
  • If you are absent the day BEFORE a test/quiz and no new material was taught, you will take the test/quiz the next day with everyone else. This is non-negotiable!
  • Homework is given every night. It should take no more than 30 minutes to complete.

Please read and understand all the information above with your parents/guardians. Return this signed by both you and a parent/guardian by ______. Let me know if you have any questions. If your parents/guardians have questions, they can call or email me with the number I have provided above.

I look forward to working with you this year!
