I am very excited about this school year and I can't wait to get to know all
my students and their parents. I am always here to help, so please do not
hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
*****************************************************************************
Below are a couple of things I want to address with you about this year.
***TUTORIALS***
Tutorials are held every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 8:00 - 8:25 in my
classroom. Tutorials are a great way to get the extra help sometimes
needed, so please take advantage of them.
***LATE WORK POLICY ***
It is very important for students to complete Math homework and assignments
in a timely manner in order to succeed in Math class. The only way math
concepts can be mastered is through practice, which is why students have
math homework every time Math class meets. Since concepts build on each
other, students must master one concept in order to understand new
concepts. For this reason, I will strictly enforce the late work policy
outlined in the student organizer, the Cowboy Team letter, and my syllabus.
Late Work Policy:
1 day late deduct 20 points
2 days late deduct 40 points
3 or more days late grade of zero will be recorded
Late Work Policy for Pre-Algebra:
1 day late deduct 50 points
2 or more days late grade of zero will be recorded
** PLEASE NOTE: STUDENTS ARE LIMITED TO ONLY THREE (3) LATE ASSIGNMENTS IN
MATH CLASS PER NINE WEEKS. All assignments turned in late after the 3rd
ate assignment will be given a grade of zero! **
***ATTENDANCE***
State law requires that a student be in attendance at least 90% of the time that
a class is offered. If a student does not meet the attendance requirement, credit
will be denied. Every 3 tardies that a student accrues to a class will be recorded
as an absence when determining final exemptions and denial of credit. Students who
are more than 10 minutes late to any one class will be considered absent.
Please contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns!!!
I am looking forward to a GREAT year!!!
