Office Hours:
I do not have fixed office hours. Please speak to me in person or email to schedule an appointment for help, make ups, etc. I need to know that you need me to stay after school at least 24 hours in advance.
*Direct phone contact into the classroom is not permitted during school hours in order to deter classroom disruptions. Parents, please contact me via email to set up meetings. I need 24 hours notice.
Make up policy:
If a student is absent, the student is responsible for completing missing work and has one week to turn in missing assignments. Assignments can be found on the class website or in the binder near the door.
Make up tests or quizzes must be scheduled directly with the teacher. Students must clear absences before a make up test or quiz will be graded. You will not receive a score if you were truant.
If a student misses a planned make up test or quiz, without valid reason, the student earn a zero.
No make up tests or quizzes will be given for truancies or absences which cannot be cleared.
Classroom Rules:
Late homework will not be accepted.
Cell Phonesmay be collected near the start of each period. Cell phones will be distributed before the end of the period to ensure none are missing. If a student is found with a cell phone after they have been collected, the phone will be turned into the office with a referral. This will act as the only warning.
The classroom environment depends on respect and kindness for each other by all parties. These parties include students, teacher, staff, and anyone else in the classroom.
Homework and Classwork:
Late homework will not be accepted.
Homework is to be turned in near the beginning of class on the date it is due. After grading, it will be available to pick up in the bin near the door. If you are absent, homework can be found on the class website or in the Math3 binder by the door. No late homework will be accepted.
Classwork may be given each day and will be expected to be turned in by the end of each class. This work serves to prepare students to complete homework on their own during time outside the classroom.
