 How do I make up a quiz that I missed?
You can make up the quiz the next morning before they are returned.  If you do
not make it up at that time, then you don’t need to make-up the quiz.  The
grade will remain empty.  It does not count against you, but it does give you
fewer grades to average.

 Where do I turn in make-up work or late work?
Make-up work and late work both need a parent signature.  Get the appropriate
work slip, fill it out, and then turn it in the orange basket.

NO!

 How many points off is my work if it is late?
Late work must be turned in within two class days of its due date.  It is
worth 50% of its original value.  So, for example, if you turn in an
assignment late that is 80% complete, your grade on that assignment will be a 40.

 What do I do if I miss a test?
You will need to make up the test within two class days.  So, if the test was
given on Monday, you have to have taken it by the end of the day on Wednesday.

 What is everything worth in this class?  How is my average determined?
Geometry: Homework is usually a completion grade and counts for 15% of your
average.  Quizzes count for 15% of your average.  Tests make up 70% of your
average.  If you do poorly on your tests, it will be reflected in your average.
Math Models: Test 40%, Quizzes 30%, and Group/Daily work 30%/

 What about extra credit?
On Geometry tests there are challenging bonus questions, but that is it.
There is no extra credit in Math Modeling, but I do accept test corrections.

--------------------------------------
 Can I retake this test that I failed?
No, not in Geometry, but you can improve your grade with the Six Weeks Test up
to a 75.
Math Models student can make test corrections. They must be filled out on the
Test Correction Form and turned in no latter than 1 week after the test has
been returned. Test corrections	will count for ½ the points.

--------------------------------------
 Does Mrs. Edgerton drop any grades?
I drop one quiz grade (if you have taken all the quizzes) each six weeks in
Geometry.

--------------------------------------
 Can I listen to my music?
NO!  Due to a new SCHOOL-WIDE POLICY, you may not listen to music in the
classrooms.  Mrs. Edgerton will enforce this school rule, so please keep your
IPODs and such in your backpack or purse.

 May I eat and drink in class?
The only thing you may have in class is water.  No food or drinks.

 When may I use the Hall Pass?
It would be easier to tell you when you CANNOT use the hall pass.  You cannot
use the pass the first or last 15 minutes of class.  You may not use the pass
during notes, quizzes, or tests either.
Back to Top
--------------------------------------
 How often may I use the hall pass?
You have six minutes in between classes to take care of personal business. 
PLEASE MAKE USE OF THIS TIME.  You will be given ONE hall pass each six weeks.
 There is NO reward for holding onto your hall passes, so use them when needed.
