Further action includes resource detention and follow-up with the office.

CLASSWORK: Students are expected to keep a binder with a separate section for their math notes. Each lesson is to be copied, followed by the assignment for that day. Please be sure to use pencil and date your work. We will also keep a record of important concepts in a Math Journal.

EQUIPMENT: A scientific calculator is required for this course. You will also require paper, pencil, eraser, ruler, protractor, and ¼-inch graph paper.

ABSENCES: Attendance will be reported on the report card.

If the absence is known in advance, please see your teacher for the work in advance. If a test is to be written on that day, an arrangement must be made with your teacher in advance. You are responsible for missed work. See the binder in the classroom and/or our class website: http://msfoleysclassroom.wikispaces.com/MPM2D
