Absences
If you are absence, you are responsible for getting your make-up work and turning it in within 5 days. Check the homework website and check with the teacher for any additional items.
Assessments
Quizzes- Quizzes will consist of mainly free response and sometimes limited multiple choice questions. Quizzes will be returned in a timely manner. If a student is absent they will be given an alternative quiz that will need to make up in a timely manner based on the school policy. There are at least 5 quizzes each quarter.
Test Reviews- Test review handouts will be given out before a test day. Answers will be given before the test with time for any student questions. The test reviews are similar to the test and an excellent way to prepare for a test.
Test- Test will be a combination of multiple choice and short answer questions. Students are not allowed to keep the test but the test will be reviewed by the students and teachers are available to discuss any test with individuals in more detail before or after school. Each Math class will have a Cumulative Nine week test/Exam towards the end of each quarter.
Calculators –We use TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculators
No games or programs are to be placed on school calculators. It is recommended that you have a graphing calculator at home for completing homework. You will be assigned a number and you are responsible for returning the calculator in working condition at the end of each block. In the event I am absent, the graphing calculators will not be made available by a substitute.
Bathroom Passes
Each student will have 4 bathroom passes to use during the school year. My class information is important and you should not miss out. The passes are for emergencies only. Remember you have 5 minutes between classes and to use your time wisely.
Tutoring
Extra-help is available on Tuesdays from 2:25-3:15 unless otherwise notified.
