Grading Policy

Your quarter grade will be calculated using weighted averages. Weighted averages are calculated by taking the sum of the scores you received divided by the sum of the total points possible in the marking period. The following items will be used as assessments during the marking period. 

Tests (2-3 per marking period)                                             100 pts. each

Quizzes (2-3 per marking period)                                          50 pts. each

PSSA Prep                                                                              25 pts. each

             1.     Quiz every other Friday on daily sponge problems

             2.    Open ended practice (4-5 submissions per quarter)

             3.    4-Sight Test

Homework/Classwork (15-20 per marking period)                   3 pts. each

* All tests can be retaken if you choose. Retakes must be retaken during 7^th period no later than 1 week after the first exam has been returned. When you retake a test, the highest score is counted towards your grade. Students may retake an exam at anytime regardless of the grade, but I do expect all tests with scores lower than an 80 to be retaken.  

Tools for Success

~ Be prepared for class.  Bring your book and notebook, do your homework and make your best effort.  (Binders or folders as well as scientific calculators are recommended.  Pencils are required for assignment completion, tests, and quizzes.)

~ Assignments and test and quiz dates will be posted on my school web page under the Assignments link for each class.  

~ Don't be afraid to ask questions. Appropriate participation is always welcomed.  Inappropriate behavior, on the other hand, is not and will be dealt with accordingly.

~ When absent on a quiz/test day, the quiz/test will be administered upon returning to school.  Grace periods are based on the amount of days absent from class.  Failure to do so by the end of the grace period will result in a zero unless alternate arrangements have been made. 

~ If you are caught copying classwork or homework or cheating on any quizzes or tests, a zero will automatically be awarded.

~ The only extra credit available is by retaking tests. 

~ All school rules as stipulated in the student handbook will be strictly followed.

~ If needed, additional help is available in the library during your study hall periods as well as in room 211 during 7th period, by appointment.  Please alert me if you are planning on staying after school.

* In order to be successful in math class, one needs to practice and review concepts.  This is the purpose of homework/classwork assignments.  All assignments are expected to be completed for the following class.  Failure to complete an assignment in its entirety earns you a zero for that assignment.  No late work will be accepted.  You will be given one free pass per marking period for use on any missed homework assignment.

To Contact Me

~ I strongly recommend that any student or parent who wishes to contact me to do so using the email address above. Although you may leave a message through the school’s voicemail system, I will be able to respond to any question or concern much quicker if you use my email address.
