ALGEBRA II INFORMATION AND POLICIES Parents: Please read the following and sign on the bottom to indicate that you have received and read this important information. EXPECTATIONS Be Prompt – You are tardy if you are not in your desk when the bell rings. Be Prepared – Bring your supplies and work to class every day. Be Productive – Do your work neatly and on time. Be Polite – Not only to me, but to your classmates. ASSIGNMENTS You should expect homework to be assigned daily. Homework will be graded in the classroom daily. With a new concept being taught almost daily, it is crucial for students to complete their homework each day. Late work will not be accepted and a grade of zero will be given for each late assignment. Homework must be completed in pencil, with work shown, and the answers identified. Sloppy work will not be accepted. MAKE UP POLICY Students are expected to make up assignments and tests after absences including extracurricular, sick, dentist, etc. Within this framework, the time allowed will be one day for each absence incurred. Extracurricular/co-curricular absences require a written arrangement between the teacher and student prior to the absence. If after an extended absence the student cannot complete the make-up work within the time allowed, there must be a written, signed agreement between the student and teacher. Parents must be made aware of this agreement. If work is not completed then a zero will be entered in the gradebook. For further information on the Brenham ISD Grading Guidelines, please visit the Brenham High Scholl website and/or the Student Handbook. GRADING The six weeks grade is determined as follows: Major 60%, and Daily Work (homework, quizzes, etc.) 40% REDO POLICY Students may redo 1 major grade and 2 daily grades per six weeks (for a maximum grade of 70 each); this only applies to assignments that have been attempted by the student in the first place. Major grades shall be redone within 3 days of the grade being posted. Daily grades shall be redone prior to the assessment of the concept. Late work will not be accepted TUTORIALS I will be in my classroom M, W-F at 7:15 for any extra help or to check homework. Students are encouraged to see me for help.
