   Policies:    Bellwork:

 

                 - Copy the bellwork completely from the board, unless told otherwise.

                 - Copy the explantion and answer from the board if you were unable to produce

                   the correct work and answer. (Don't forget the date!)

                 - You will put question per page (front only).  

                 - If you miss a bellwork, it is your responsiblity to get the missed work into your

                   notebook. (Keep your work in chronological order, with date, and one day per page.)

                 - Bellwork will be checked randomly throughout each 9 Weeks.  If you are absent on

                   a day it is checked, I will check it at the end of the 9 Weeks.

        

 

                 Student Work: 

 

                  - All assignments will be completed on loose leaf paper with your name, date, and

                    assignment name.  If any of these three are missing, the assignment will not be

                    graded.

                  - If you missed an assignment, it needs to be completed before the correlating test is

                    given.

                  - Assignments will be completed in groups, in class, and at home.

                  - It is your responsibility to check Google Classroom for daily assignments.

                  - Student Work will be checked either on Review Day or Test Day.  If you are absent

                    on a day it is checked, I will check it at the end of the 9 Weeks.

 

                 Tests/Quizzes:

 

                  - We will have 3-5 tests per 9 weeks.

                  - Quizzes will be given when needed.

                  - If you missed a test, I will have a make-up day at the end of the 9 Weeks.

                  - It is your responsibility to keep up with test dates.  They will be posted on my website,

                    on the Week-at-a-Glance boards, and on Google Classroom.

                  - If you cheat on a test, it is an automatic 0 - F.

                  

                 

                Communication:

 

                  - I will only communicate with you and your parents/guardians through REMIND and

                    emails.  I will try to repsond in a timely manner.  So if you don't join REMIND and miss

                    a message, it is your fault.  If your parent needs to talk to me, they can send me a

                    REMIND and I can call them using REMIND.

 

                ACT:

 

                 - Every 9 Weeks, I will give you points for giving me your ACT scores that are released

                   during that grading period - e.g. if your scores are release during the 1st 9 Weeks,

                   then your points will be added to your 1st 9 Weeks grade.  The only exception is if

                   you took the ACT during the summer, then your points will be added to the 1st 9

                   Weeks.  

                - You will receive 50 points for taking the ACT and bringing me your scores. If your

                  ACT Math scores improved from your highest score, then I will replace the 50 points

                  with 100 points.  

                - I will only accept copies printed from the official ACT site, with your name visible, and

                  the scores for that test visible.  I do not want Super Scores.

                - I will not accept screenshots sent on REMIND or through emails.

                - I will not accept anything from your parents, YOU need to hand me the physical copy of

                  YOUR scores.
