8th Grade Math Requirements (Super simple)

IN A NUTSHELL-Your academic success is your responsibility (Not Mom or Dad’s)

ATTENDANCE-Show up to class

SUPPLIES- Have good pencils, erasers and paper DAILY

AGENDA-Use your agenda to write down important due dates (Use your brain to learn, not to remember stuff you can put on a calendar or “to do” list)

ATTENTION-Pay attention to lesson examples and write EVERYTHING down

WORK-Complete ALL class work while you have peers and an instructor present to assist you on misconceptions.

HOMEWORK-DO IT! (The only way to gain skills in something is practice)

ATTITUDE-If you have a bad attitude, keep it out of math class!

There is ONE way to address adults: YES MA’AM, NO MA’AM, YES SIR, and NO SIR (especially to Mom and Dad!)

DISCIPLINE-There is NO time for immaturity, save it!

TUTORING-AFTER doing ALL the above, you will be permitted into tutoring for assistance, the responsibility is yours…BE RESPONSIBLE!

TUTORING:

Missed a class due to illness-come in to get notes

To complete homework before due date-tutoring

To receive assistance before a retest-tutoring

To re-test (One per grading period)-tutoring

COMMUNICATION-All communication regarding class, assignments, grades and discipline are handled through email to respect your time. Reminders for summatives are sent via REMIND text (Students will have text number for sign up)
