Classroom Expectations and Procedures:

Be Respectful!! Be Responsible!! Be Safe!! Be Involved!!

1.) Students are expected to be on time and prepared for class. When the bell rings, students should be in their seats with notebooks, homework, and sharpened pencils out on the desk.

3.) One folder

4.) Scientific Calculator (Recommended- TI-34 II, which is used in class)

Grading Procedures

Each marking period grade will be determined based on a system of total points. Exams, quizzes, homework assignments, projects, as well as participation are all included in the marking period grade. At the conclusion of each quarter, I will add all of the total points earned and divide that number by the total number of possible points. This will then determine your percentage grade.

Students will have the opportunity to work on corrections, to bring up quiz/test grades~ please encourage them to take advantage of this opportunity. Students will also have notebook checks that will count as a quiz grade.
