Students will have access to many resources, games, and homework help in the form of videos and, in some cases, a live tutor. *See handout for more information

District adopted SUPPLEMENTAL math program.
Students must pass 1 lesson per week or as instructed by
Teacher – requirement will be increased soon!
We will go to the computer lab every Monday for the 1st half of the period so they can hopefully pass at least one per week at school.

7. Homework Policy Importance of Homework
Reinforces what has been learned
Prepares student for upcoming lessons
Teaches responsibility
Helps student develop strong study habits
LATE Homework (online) will receive half credit
if turned in by the day of the end-of-chapter test
Projects get lowered 1 whole letter grade for each day late
(up to 3 days, then it is a zero)
Absences
Students are responsible for obtaining and completing missed notes and assignments if absent
Allowed 1 day for each day of excused absence to turn in missed work, but it is best to stay caught up! Check my website and for assignments, even when absent!

8. Math and Science Notebooks
Need to be brought to school DAILY
Should be checked by a parent to see if homework and classroom notes have been completed.
Science notebooks will be checked for neatness and completeness at the end of a unit for a grade.
Parent Signature is required at that time (signature tells me that you have looked it over and it is complete). ***
***Parent Signature is worth 3 points.

9. Classroom Expectations
