 Calculator Agreement
Calculator Agreement & Policy

 

I,                                              , understand that being 
provided with a calculator to use in my math class is a privilege and not a 
right.  I also understand that the calculators are very precious and that I 
must take very good care of them.  I agree to abide by the following policies:

      If I notice my calculator is missing, I will notify the teacher 
immediately.

      I will use my calculator in the classroom only and will not take it 
out of the classroom without the teacher’s permission.

      I will use only the calculator assigned to me and will not use a 
calculator with a different number unless I have permission from the teacher.

      I will do my very best not to drop the calculator on the floor or 
otherwise cause damage to it.

      I will notify my teacher by raising my hand when I believe my 
calculator needs new batteries.  I will wait patiently until the teacher is 
able to get them for me.

      If I would like to have a calculator to take home to do my homework, I 
will ask the teacher if I can check one out.  I will not leave the room with 
it until I have filled out the proper paperwork for checking it out.

      I will be held financially responsible for my calculator is something 
happens to it while it is in my possession.  I realize the calculator costs 
$80 to replace.

      I will report any text messages that may appear on my calculator as 
soon as I notice them.

      I realize that playing games on my calculator during class time will 
result in my privilege of using a calculator during class being revoked, 
whether the calculator is personal or school-owned.

      I will notify my teacher immediately if I realize something is wrong 
with my calculator or if something happens to it.

 

 

You must have your calculator before class starts.  If you failed to get it 
on your way in the door then you have failed to prepare for class.  As a 
result, NO CALCULATOR FOR YOU!

 End of Course Test
As you may know the South Carolina State Department of Education has mandated 
that all Algebra I/Math Tech II students take an End of Course (EOC) Algebra 
I Exam.  The EOC will encompass the SC State Standards for Algebra I/Math 
Tech II that are being taught in the classroom.  This state-designed exam 
will be administered at the end of the year at a time specified by the 
state.  The EOC will count 20% of your child’s yearly Algebra I/Math Tech II 
grade, which is mandated by the SC State Department of Education.  Please 
remember that this applies to all Algebra I /Math Tech II students in the 
state of South Carolina.  
 
We wanted to advise you of this new requirement from day one.  Our teachers 
will do everything possible to ensure your child is well prepared for this 
exam.  It is imperative to understand that the 20% weight of this test can 
affect your child’s overall grade negatively or positively.      
The SC Mathematics standards can be found at
