*Your math binder is a great reference. Please treat it with care and keep up with it. I have model binders for you to use if you are out or get behind.

9. Absence
YOU are responsible for getting the notes you missed when you were out. Ask a buddy or use the model binder.
I will give you any handouts that you missed when you return. There is an extra paper bin that will have all handouts too.
If you miss an assessment, it needs to be made up asap.

10. Extra Help
Math is challenging…and that is why it is fun. There will be times you find it easy and times that you struggle. Stick with it through both.
When you need extra support, I am available. I will be after school for extra help every Tuesday. Also, I am available before and after school (as needed) by appointment.
Extra help is a privilege that is afforded to all students who work hard during class and do their homework.
