If absent, students are required to bring in a doctor’s or parent note.Extra Credit:Students will receive a monthly calendar during the first week of every month and they can earn extra credit based on assignments completed. Extra credit is optional.Make-Up Work: A student who is absent from class is responsible for all missed work. All make-up work needs to be completed within five school days after returning to school. I will usually grade at least two assignments per week, so it’s very important to make-up all missing work.Rework Students will be allowed to rework certain assignments if score is less than 70% but may only earn up to 89% on the retake. A parent or student can make arrangements for a retake.Homework: Any parent requesting a monthly homework calendar will need to send in parent note or email. Homework is recommended for a student struggling to pass the quizzes and tests. Homework is optional.Course Binder: I suggest students use the same 3-ring binder for both Science and Math. Students need to keep their notes, assignments, and graded papers organized and up-to-date.Student Agenda: Students are encouraged to get a student agenda to help organize their assignments. Textbook:Every student will receive a consumable workbook (Go Math) which will be kept at school. The teacher will periodically instruct students to tear-out certain pages from their workbook and put them into their math binder.CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS 1.
