Grading Policy
50% Daily (Quizzes, Homework, etc.)
50% Major (Test and Projects)
Minimum of 11 daily grades and 3 major grades per 9 week grading cycle. ONLY the FIRST
nine weeks will have 9 daily grades and 3 major grades.
Daily Work
In an effort to maximize our time in class, homework assignments could include watching a video or reading information in lieu of direct instruction in class. We will take time to discuss, but the primary learning will be responsibility of the student (not every day). These lessons would be assigned as homework.
Homework
Homework is given so that the students have an opportunity to practice and master the concepts taught in class. Completion of the homework is essential to success in the course. Homework collection for a grade will be periodic, unannounced, and will involve a variety of methods. Some homework will need to be completed using the Pearson website. If a student does not have internet access at home, he/she may use the library computers before or after school and during his/her lunch time. Technical difficulty is not a valid reason for failing to turn in homework. Students are also encouraged to utilize the Schoology Pre-AP Algebra 1 page if clarification or assistance is needed.
Quizzes
Quizzes can be given at any time to check for mastery of skills. These quizzes may or may not be announced ahead of time.
Tests
Please do not schedule appointments during testing days. All tests will be announced well in advance. A retention quiz will be given to all students as a daily grade approximately one week after the test. If a student fails a test, a retention quiz will allow them a maximum replacement grade of a 75.
Late Work
Work turned in late will be penalized as follows:
1st day late will be a grade of 70
2nd day late- 60
3rd day late- 50
Tutorials
The Algebra 1 Team offers tutorials Tuesday and Thursday in the morning (6:50-7:20) and afternoon (2:55-3:25). Additional times are by appointment only.
Parent/Student and Teacher Communication
Please communicate with me by e-mail (recommended) or phone when there are any questions or concerns. You will receive periodic e-mails regarding pertinent information. Please note that the team will communicate with parents using the Family Access information that you have on file, so please keep your contact information updated. The Ridge Point website (Ridge Point High School) and Schoology Algebra 1 page will have additional useful resources.
Looking Forward to a Great Year!! Additional text book resources are available online Pearson Algebra 1 Textbook
