Welcome to Algebra I CCSS!! In order to make this class as informative, rewarding, and fun as possible, the following rules, expectations, and procedures must be followed:

Class Materials

  • Notebook – three-ring binder (preferred) or spiral notebook
  • Pencil – please use pencil for all math assignments
Grades
  • 60% Classwork/Participation: Includes all assignments in and out of class as well as being prepared and completing all work on time.
  • 40% ALEKS

Classroom Rules/Procedures

  1. You are not to stand or wait around in the hallway. Be in your assigned seat when the bell rings and have all necessary materials with you (pencil, textbook, notebook, calculator).
  2. When you come into class copy the Do Now assignment from the board into your notebook and begin working. Do not wait for me to tell you to start!
  3. Follow instructions the first time they are given.
  4. No cell phones, ipods, food, or drinks.
  5. Lastly, and most importantly, show respect and common courtesy at all times.

**If you do not follow the above rules, your classwork grade will be impacted.**

If You Are Late

  1. Walk in quietly making as little noise as possible.
  2. Take your assigned seat.
  3. Join the activity in progress. If you don’t know what the class is doing raise your hand until the teacher sees you.
Make-Up Work

If you are absent, it is your responsibility to make up all work missed in a timely manner according to the student handbook. Homework assignments and dates of tests/quizzes are posted on the high school website. If you are absent on the day of a quiz or test, see me the day you return to make arrangements for a make up.

Bathroom/Hall Pass

To leave the room you need your school ID. The pass is not to be used the first 5 minutes or last 5 minutes of class. Do not ask for a pass during instruction time. You will be permitted five passes out of the room per marking period. If you don’t use any of your passes, you will receive extra credit for that marking period. Once you have used all of your passes, you may not leave the room. Any violation of the sign out policy or time limit policy results in the revoking of your hall pass privilege for the duration of the school year.

Review ALL of the above information with your parent(s)/guardian. On September 10th I will be checking for this paper signed, and all necessary materials for the course. This will count as your first homework grade. If you have any questions please ask. If your parent(s)/guardian have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me through the contact information provided.

I am looking forward to a great year 
