I would like to take the time to welcome you to Geometry. This syllabus is designed to inform you on the goals and expectations I have for you in this class. The following will give you an overview of what is expected.

Prerequisite: Algebra 1 or equivalent. Please see me right away if you have not met this requirement.

Attendance: The Attendance policy for this class follows the attendance policy as stated in the student handbook. You are expected to be in your seat when the bell rings, ready to begin learning.

Materials: You will need to bring a pencil and paper, textbook, and 3 ring binder/pocket folder to class every day. A TI-30 XIIS calculator will be provided for you to use while in class. However, if you would like to purchase one of your own, you may do so. (I have seen them at Wal-Mart for approximately $12.) In your 3 ring binder/pocket folder you will keep all notes, homework, and quizzes from each section. This will help you stay organized and study for tests.

Quarterly Assessments: Quarterly assessments will be administered at the end of each grading period and will be counted as 20% of the grade period's total points.

Grading Scale: The grading scale for this class is the same as listed in your student handbook.

A = 92 – 100%
