My ExpectationsMy Expectations

Students are expected to come to class prepared, turn in their homework before class starts, and be ready for the warm up.

Absences—If a student is absent they have the same number of days of their absence to make up their work. It is the responsibility of the student to ask for assignments they missed and questions they may have.

Classroom Assignment ValuesClassroom Assignment Values

Late grades are accepted, however, the grade is reduced 10% each day it is late.

BinderBinder

We will be keeping a binder that will contain all notes and handouts for the year. This is extremely important due to the fact that we have a classroom set of textbooks only. This binder will be the study resource for the class and will be worth a 50 point test grade at the end of each quarter.
