Welcome back to a new school year! It is a pleasure having each of you in my class. I am looking forward to making this year a very rewarding learning experience for you. In PreAP Geometry, the willingness to work and think is necessary to be successful. See me ASAP with any problems or concerns. Please come with a positive attitude and ready to work. I will help you as much as I can, but, in the end, it is up to you to be successful.

Resources

- Teacher District Website:

- Canvas Website:

• Pencil/Pen every day

• 1 box of tissue (to be left in class)

Supplies for home

• Protractor

I have a class set of four function calculators that students will be able to use in class.

Grading (see pages 24-25 in Parent/Student Handbook)

- No credit will be given for writing just the answer on homework, quizzes and tests (ie. you must show your work).

- Homework will be assigned most days and is to be completed before the beginning of the next class.

- The top of every homework assignment must contain your name or you will not receive credit.

- All grades will be posted online on Skyward and can be accessed by all students and parents via the district and school websites. There is also a skyward app for your phone

- There are two categories for grades:

Daily* (homework, quizzes, and in class assignments) 40%

Tests* 60%

100%

*Some grades may be dropped at the end of each term based on teacher discretion.

Attendance (see pages 29-34 in Student Handbook)

- Students returning from an absence must submit the absence excuse note to the office within 3 school days (see page 33 for the required information in each note)

- To receive credit in a class, students must attend at least 90 percent of the days the class is offered (page 31).

- Students have one class day per excused absence day to complete make-up assignments.

It is the responsibility of the student to request any make-up work that is missed while absent. (page 19-20)

-If you were absent, you must write “absent” at the top of the homework otherwise it is assumed to be late.

Academics

1. Be prepared and ready to learn!! Bring your binder/folder, journal and a PENCIL/PEN to every day.

2. Students caught cheating will receive a zero in their grade book and will be turned into the office for additional consequences. Please see page 37 in the Parent/Student handbook for a complete list of consequences.

3. Students have 3 days, after their Test grade is posted in Skyward, to request to re-assess if they make below a 70. PreAP students may only retest 2 Exams per grading period.

4. Online homework assignments will have 2 days to complete. Students are expected to complete them the first day. DO NOT PROCRASTINATYE. (The second day is for technical issues, absences, etc…) Not submitting an online homework assignment before the set deadline results in a zero.  As per our homework policy, NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED. 

Conduct

1. Respect

- Respect for the teacher, other students, and school property is NOT negotiable.

2. NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES DURING LECTURES (except for a calculator).

- If electronic devices are collected by the teacher, they will be turned into the Office. Students can collect their device for $15 at the end of the day. (page 42 in Student Handbook)

3. Restroom Visits:

- Students are expected to go to the restroom during the passing period. If an emergency occurs, students will be allowed to go only after all instruction has been given. To make sure that this privilege is not taken for granted, you may not leave class more than 3 times per semester. Students will not be allowed to leave during the first or the last 10 minutes of class.

4. No Food or Drink is permitted in class. (Bottled water is the only exception.)

- I will confiscate and throw away all food and non-water drinks brought into my classroom.

5. Dress Code and Student ID Cards

- Students not in compliance of the dress code or failure to wear YOUR school issued I.D. will result in disciplinary action. (page 16 and 45-47)
