Grading and Materials
Materials Needed: Math Book, Notebook (three-ring binder with dividers), and pencils
Graphing Calculator (TI-84 Plus)
Grading Policy:
A student’s grade will be determined by the following:
announced quizzes
unannounced “pop” quizzes
tests
notebook and bellringer check
nine weeks project
classwork grades
Homework is checked to see if the student is completing all assignments. Homework is
checked to see if the student has tried all problems, not to see if the student has obtained
the correct answer. I feel that students can only learn by trying, so I reward their work by
giving credit for homework when ALL problems have been tried. This is one way that a
student may help his/her average. Students who do not do homework will notice a drop
in grade.
Each student will receive an “Up Your Grade” card. You may receive a stamp for the
following reasons:
perfect attendance
no tardies
“A” on a test or quiz
homework check
When the card is full, the student will have 2% added to his/her final grade for the nine
weeks. It is the student’s responsibility to keep the card. If the card is lost, the student
must start a new card.
At the end of the first four and a half weeks of each nine weeks, I will send home an
interim report. Please ask your child about this interim report. Your child can find out
what his/her grade is at any time during the nine weeks. You will also be able to view
your child’s grades in Phoenix.
All make-up work must be made up immediately following an absence. Please read
school policy regarding this matter.
If you have any questions concerning your child’s work or grades, please e-mail me at
betty.davis@lcps.org .
I am looking forward to meeting you at “Back To School Night”.
