Classroom Rules:

1. Be in your assigned seat when bell rings.
2. Follow directions the first time given.
3. Be kind to each other – HELP DON’T HURT.
4. At the end of the period, remain in your seat until you are dismissed.

How to be prepared for class:

All students are required to have a 3-ring binder with paper for class notes.  Pencils are preferred, pen is fine.  I can provide calculators and will give you a packet of class notes for each chapter. 

Report Card Grade:

Your grade has four components:

1. Tests:  Tests count as 40% of your grade.  At the beginning of each chapter, you will be given a chapter packet of notes and practice that we will work through.  We will also build a calendar together which will include the date of the chapter test so you can be prepared. 
2. Quizzes:  All quizzes are pop quizzes, but they are open notes.  They also make up a large portion of your grade.  If you perform better on the chapter test than you did on the quiz, I will replace your quiz grade with the chapter test grade. 
3. Homework:  HOMEWORK IS PRACTICE.  IN MATH, JUST LIKE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE IN LIFE, YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO UNTIL YOU TRY IT ON YOUR OWN.

o   Homework is checked and graded based on effort each day as a 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

o   To receive credit, your paper must be legible and your work must be shown.

o   No late papers accepted.  If you are absent, the homework must be turned in to me on the following day.

4. Class participation

Two great resources to help ensure your success:

• Our building has a universal learning lab built into the schedule each day 3^rd period.  Students are required to get a presigned pass from any teacher they would like to work with for that period.  All teachers in the building are available this period for extra help.
• We also offer a Math Lab in room 106B.  The math lab is run by certified math teachers periods 2 through 9, with the exception of 3^rd period.  The offer assistance in homework, studying for tests, or reteaching the material.  Any student who has a free period is invited to the math lab.  Please bring your math supplies when you attend and be sure to sign in so I can give you credit for attending.
