1.
Students are expected to come to class prepared. They should have their textbook, notebook, and pencil everyday for class. Students will not be allowed to go to their locker during class for materials they forgot. It is recommended that all notes be taken in pencil in case of errors. NO PENS OR
COLORED INK WILL BE ALLOWED ON TESTS OR QUIZZES!!!!
2.
Students are expected to be in class and in their assigned seat when the bell rings. Sharpening pencils, picking up paper, and using the water fountain are all activities that should be done before class begins. Students will be only allowed to use the lavatory during the first and last five minutes of class time.
3.
A warning will be given after the first 3 latenesses. After the fourth lateness a teacher detention will be assigned. Every late after the 4 th will result in an office referral as outlined in the school handbook.
4.
Extra help is available after school Tuesday through Thursday. It is the student’s responsibility to schedule time with me to come in for help. Students should have questions ready when coming for tutoring. It is recommended that students schedule time for tutoring as soon as possible when material is not understood, it does very little to only come in the day before a quiz or test.
1.
Tests and quizzes vary in the number of points. All quizzes and tests taken are kept in individual folders for each student in my room. Students may sign out their folder or specific quizzes or tests at any time to take home, but they must be returned to the folder the next day. Students will be given all tests and quizzes a few weeks before final exams to use as a reference for studying.
2.
Homework will be checked everyday there is an assignment. It is important to at least try all assignments. All work must be shown in order to receive full credit. Each homework assignment is worth three points, averaging to between 15% and 20% of your quarter grade. Late assignments
will not be accepted. When going over assignments it is the student’s responsibility to mark answers right or wrong, make necessary corrections, and ask questions.
3.
A 3-ring binder is the best notebook for this course. Students must keep a notebook since it will
be graded with each test. Organization extremely helpful in geometry. Notebooks should have five sections: class notes, homework (each assignment should be labeled and in chronological order), chapter definitions, chapter postulates, and chapter theorems and corollaries. Notebooks that do not have all required material will not receive full credit.
Make-up procedure due to excused absences:
1.
If absent only one day and a test or quiz is missed, be prepared to take the make-up the day you
return. No extra time will be allowed.
2.
If absent only one day and it is the day before a test or quiz, be prepared to take the test/quiz
with the class the following day when you return to school.
3.
All assignments that were due on a day when the student is absent are expected to be completed
upon the student’s return to school.
4.
Any quiz or test not made up within two weeks from the date your class took the assessment will result in a zero.
5.
After an extended absence all work must be made up within a reasonable amount of time, we will work together to make arrangements. Any work not made up within this time period will result in a zero.
6.
All unexcused absences will result in a zero for any assignment, quiz, or test missed that day.
