4th Quarter Syllabus and Assignments for Algebra I

GulfMiddle School

Mr. Logsdon

This syllabus was designed to help students and parents understand the topics learned each day in class and homework assignments for each day of instruction. Each topic is broken into days of instruction. These are the days that the students will learn each topic of instruction. The assigned homework for each day of instruction is due at the beginning of next day. For example: Homework assigned on August 20th will be due on August 21st. All due dates are final! Late work will be accepted one day late only and at a reduced score. Please do all of your homework and manage your time wisely. Once you fall behind, it is difficult to get caught up again. Stay organized and do your homework on time. This syllabus is only a guide and may be changed at anytime by the teacher.
