School ID: Students who do not have an ID on a lanyard around their neck and visible will automatically receive a lunch detention. If you miss a day it is YOUR responsibility to make it up Make-up Work: Make-up work will be handled according to school policy. If you are absent the day before a previously scheduled test, you will be responsible for taking the test on the day of your return. From 2:30 – 3:00 You must come prepared with questions to ask, otherwise you will need to leave. Students will be expected to keep their phone turned off and in a purse or backpack during the entirety of class. Refusal to comply with this will result in the loss of phone, a contact home, a write up, or a detention for refusal to comply with teacher and disrupting the learning environment. Each quarter, every student will be provided 3 hall passes to use if they need to leave class for any reason. After using these 3 hall passes the student will not be allowed to leave the classroom without the penalty of a lunch detention. Any unused passes will be redeemed for extra credit on a test score at the end of the quarter. Tomorrow the class will have an opportunity to earn a fourth bathroom pass Students will complete a warm up the first 5 minutes of each class day. These warm ups will be collected every 2 weeks for a daily grade. No late grades will be given for missing warm ups. You will have homework most nights. The assignments are designed to reinforce lessons learned during the day. Repetition is very important in mathematics. Homework will be 5-10 problems out of the book. These will occasionally be taken for a grade. The problems will be very similar to those on the upcoming quizzes. We will take quizzes frequently.
