A homework assignment will be assigned regularly. Once class begins and the teacher has checked for
homework completion, students may ask questions before the daily Homework Quiz is given. Students

Grades
Grades will be stapled in the planner on Friday’s of each week by the CAT time teacher. Grades will also
be posted in the math classroom for students to see (by ID number) on Mondays.
Routine Spiral Notebook Checks
Student Math notebooks will be checked for organization at the teacher’s discretion. This will be part
of your homework grade.
Missing Assignments
Students will have up until the unit test to turn in any missing assignments for that unit. After that
time, any assignments that are still missing will be recorded as zeros. Parents can check their students
planner every Monday evening to see grades and all missing assignments.
Restroom Breaks
Students should use the restroom during their passing period. However, they will be allowed to use the
restroom during class at the teacher’s discretion. Students need to wait until we are doing group or
individual work to ask to go to the restroom. They need to be sure to have their planner open to the
current date and raise their hand. After the teacher has signed a hall pass in the agenda, the student
may leave. ,
If you are suddenly ill
Get up and GO! It is best to get as far away as possible from the teacher and other students. If you do
not think you can make it to the restroom, locate the nearest trash can.
Additional Help
Students are encouraged to come in before or after school to get help. They need to make sure to get a
pass from me the day before in order to be allowed into the pod before school starts. It would be best
to come in before school or to schedule an appointment.
