[pic]Homework

Practice makes permanent! Homework is an essential part of math class. Just like any skill in life, the more we do something, the better we are at doing it. Math homework includes current, as well as previously learned concepts and skills. Expect math homework every day. Homework is posted on the first day of the week so you can plan your time wisely. Homework completion will be reported on quarterly report cards and communication with parents will occur as needed.

[pic]Absences

Homework for entire week will always be posted on Google Classroom and on the back board in the classroom. Ask your table team or teacher what you missed when you return. It is your responsibility to complete and turn in any missing assignment due to an absence.

[pic]Tardy Policy

If you are running late and enter class after start time, please sign the tardy form at the entrance. That is your way to communicate that you were late and no class time for others is interrupted. (Please write me a note and give it to me if you want me to know why you were late.) Following Hamilton school rules, more than 3 tardies results in a parent phone call and detention.

[pic] Expectations

Be prompt, prepared, productive, polite, positive, and participate.
