7. Core Enrichment 4th Period (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday) Mathia and Code.org
Graded as pass/fail.
Purpose is to enrich/enhance all core curriculum areas.
We rotate teachers daily.
Monday - report to your 1st period teacher
Tuesday - report to your 3rd period teacher
Thursday - report to your 5th period teacher
Friday - report to your 7th period teacher

8. Homework
Expectations are that students will work on Mathia, the online component to the Carnegie textbook, at home a minimum of 4 days a week for 30 minutes each day.
Mathia log in and contact information located on my website.
Quarter 1: Students will be introduced to Mathia. Students are expected to get Mathia working properly at home. While there is no 1st quarter deadline, students who fall behind will need to play catch up 2nd Quarter.
Quarters 2, 3 and 4: Students will be assigned modules that will count towards the 20% Homework/Practice grade.

9. Grading 80% - Assessments 20% - Homework/Practice
(Quizzes, Tests, Projects)
20% - Homework/Practice
(Warm-ups, Classwork, Mathia, etc.)
Grades will be updated promptly and can be viewed in StudentVue and ParentVue. It is important that grades are checked regularly. This is the most immediate form of communication of student progress.
A = % B = 80-89% C = 70-79%
D = 60-69% F = 0 – 59%
