 Do I need to bring my book to class everyday?
Great news!  We now have a class set of textbooks in rooms 1612 and 1625.  
Students should take their textbooks home and leave them there so that they 
will be available for homework purposes.

No. We will review before ALL tests and most quizzes in class. After school 
help is available to assist you with any specific questions or difficulties 
you may be having with the material.

You must bring your questions and all math materials (binder, notes,

 What is your homework policy?
Expect homework daily, with the exception of religious holidays – you must 
DO math to LEARN math!  Make every effort to complete each assignment.  Make 
sure you write in pencil and show all your work.  If you have difficulty, 
ask a family member, call your math buddy, read the book, consult the book’s 
website, or come for extra help.  Assignments should typically take about 20 
minutes to complete.  Homework is graded on EFFORT.  You should get 100% for 
this grade!

45% Tests and major projects
30% Quizzes and minor projects
15% Performance assessments (classwork)
10% Homework
There is no extra-credit!

 What do I do if I am absent?
If absent, students can find out the missed homework by consulting the class 
website or calling a study buddy from class.  When returning to school, they 
can look in the homework binder for a record of recent assignments. Students 
have one extra day for each day out to make up the homework.  Students 
should plan to come in during an extra help session to make up missed 
quizzes/tests and to review missed topics from class.
