SYLLABUS
Developmental MATHLab Class (Per. 1 & 5)
Dear Student and Parents,January 11, 2016
I am excited about having your son or daughter for a successful Fall 2015 semester Developmental Math Lab class. As you may or may not know, for your student to graduate from LA High with a diploma, he/she must pass210 credits and with a ‘D’ grade or better is required to pass.
Your son/daughter is expected to perform at grade level standards and maintain a ‘C’ average so they can apply to four year colleges if they so choose. For your child’s success, I am asking you for you to be part of our success team. Please help your son/daughter stay on track with completing their homework nightly for all classes, Monday through Thursday. Homework is a necessary tool that enables your child to master the math standards as set forth by the state of California. Additionally, many of their classes will have a Quiz every week (usually Friday) on the content learned in that week. Please ask them to review their notes and homework through the week to prepare for this Quiz. PLEASE NOTE, the students will be given a weekly homework log sheet they need to keep up to date as part of their lab class requirement. You may ask them to see their homework log so you can help keep them on track with their homework.
Students are required to keepa three ring notebook with six dividers for all their classes. They will receive a weekly grade on their notebook, the notes contained in it, and general upkeep. They are asked to always carry a pen and pencil in their backpacks. At any time during the semester if your child is in jeopardy of failing the Resource Lab class, I will call to notify you. Additionally, their annual 5 week progress report card will reflect their current grades in all their classes. I encourage you to please come to ParentSchool nights during the semester to learn how you can help your child succeed in Math.
GRADING: Their grade will be determined by the following scale:
Daily Class Participation (completion of all homework and in class work) 70%
Notebook maintenance15%
Weekly homework log15%
GRADING SCALE:
100% - 90% A
89% - 80%B
79% - 70%C
69% - 60%D
59% & belowF
WORK HABITS:
E = excellent work habits in Lab class daily
S = Satisfactory work habits in Lab class on a periodic basis
U = Unsatisfactory work habits in Lab class (IN general student does not do work and/or attend Lab Class)
COOPERATION:
E = excellent cooperation in Lab class daily
S = Satisfactory cooperation in Lab class on a periodic basis
U = Unsatisfactory cooperation in Lab class (IN general student does not cooperate and/or attend Lab Class)
ATTENDANCE: Attendance is essential for understanding and mastering all content for all classes. If your student is absent from schoolwith your approval, please write a note that your child can deliver to their attendance office. If the absence is unexcused by yourself or school administration, then your child will receive a ‘F’ on that day for Resource Lab class participation and is expected to make up the homework and class notes missed. If your child is stopping education for other students in the classroom because of inappropriate or defiant behavior, I will talk with them privately first. If the behavior continues, I will send them to their counselor and call home. If the behavior continues a third time, you will be requested to meet with myself and your child to discuss appropriate strategies for your child’s success.
After reading this letter with your son or daughter, please sign below to join our team for helping your child’s success in Resource Lab class and all their classesthis Fall. Additionally I would like you and your son/daughter to discuss and write below what their GRADE GOALS are for all classes. Please feel free to contact me at anytime, I am happy to help. I look forward to working together with you and being a part of your child’s success in their Math class this year.
Sincerely,
Jeff Knepper
