Class Guidelines
1. All Canterbury School Social Contract Behaviors and Honor Code apply to this class.
2. Be on time and prepared for class. Always bring your textbook, notebook, paper, agenda, sharpened pencils (no pens), expo marker, and homework to class with you. Book bags may not be brought to class.
3. Calculators will be provided as needed in class. You do not need to bring a calculator from home. Personal calculators may be used on specified homework assignments.
4. All students will be required to keep a notebook. All class notes, examples, worksheets, homework, quizzes, etc. will be kept in order in this notebook. An outline of the notebook contents will be posted in the classroom
5. Announced and/or unannounced quizzes may be given on any day of the week. Quizzes and notebooks will make up 40% of the total grade for the first marking period.
6. Homework is a necessary part of any math class. It will be assigned most evenings and will be due at the beginning of the following class, unless otherwise stated. All assignments must be written in your agenda. Homework will be graded on completion, thoroughness, and effort. We will be using a 10-point scale for homework.
10 = complete (all work shown) 0 = No homework
5 = 1/2 complete or no work shown
Homework will not be accepted late, except in the case of absence, but all homework must be included in the notebook for full notebook credit. The lowest homework grade will be dropped each trimester. Homework will make up 10% of the total grade for the first marking period.
7. Tests will be given as needed and will be announced at least 3 days in advance and posted on the middle school online calendar. Make-up tests will be given as soon as possible after an absence. Tests will comprise 50% of the total grade for the first marking period. Graded tests (and notebooks) will be sent home for a parent signature and returned for a homework grade the next class period. Students must have at least a B- (80) test average after the first three tests to stay in the class.
8. All make-up work is the responsibility of the student. You must check the notebook contents page, and with me, to find out what you missed. If needed, you must arrange a time to get help or make up quizzes/tests.
9. No food or gum is allowed in this class. Water bottles are acceptable.
10. If you have any questions ----- ASK! (I will be very glad to arrange help sessions.)
