Once the Unit Test has been taken, students are unable to make up missing assignments for that unit and all other previous units. Extenuating circumstances need to be brought to the instructor’s attention, and will be taken into account on an individual basis. 3-Ring Binder/Folder:Each student will need to purchase a 3-ring binder or folder in which they will keep all classroom materials in (entrance questions, practice packets, graded assignments, etc.). Binders or folders will be cleaned out at the end of every unit; materials from previous units will be kept in another classroom folder for students to compile their work in order to prepare for the Final Exam at the end of each semester. Scientific Calculators:Each student will be assigned a scientific calculator to use during class activities/assignments. Calculators will remain in the classroom. It is the students’ responsibility to notify the instructor immediately if they notice their calculator is not working properly or if it is damaged. Lost, stolen, and/or damaged calculators will be charged to the students’ account (Approx. $ 130.00). Hall Pass:It is important for students to be in class during class time. There is one hall pass for the entire class. Students will not be permitted to leave the class during the class lecture. Bonus – Cell Phone Turn in:Students have the option of turning in their cell phones at the beginning of class for bonus points. Bonus points will be added to the Performance Category of the grade book. Miscellaneous: Outlined above are the classroom policies and procedures as determined by the instructor. The instructor reserves the right to alter or modify the policies and/or procedures above in order to better serve the students and/or to adhere to school/district policies and/or procedures. All other school/district policies and procedures must be followed in the classroom at all times – some examples include (but are not limited to): electronic devices, dress code, etc. Please see me with any questions and/or concerns with regard to any of the policies and procedures outlined in this syllabus. I look forward to a great and productive year. Sincerely, Amy Lew – Resource Mathematics Instructor ................
