8th Grade Math with Mrs. HarveyWelcome Tiger Parents/Guardians,
I am your child's Math teacher. This is my 3rd year of teaching and my 3rd year at Slidell Jr. High. While Covid guidelines continue to be strict, I am excited to work and learn with you and your children to provide amazing opportunities for success. I will need your support from home. Together we can ensure an accomplishing year! Online classes and “how to” videos on youtube have become a large part of the way we learn, but we will continue to create a social classroom culture face-to-face. Please have your child bring their favorite refillable water bottle and a mask or two. Let’s have a great year!

8th Grade Math with Mrs. Harvey
All classes created their own list of “norms” to follow beyond my list of expectations. Most classes put kindness, honesty, respect, preparedness, and attentiveness on their lists. They are expected to hold themselves and each other to these standards, as well as myself! They helped me create a list of consequences (shown to the left), as well as rewards. Rewards include praise, positive phone calls home, candy, free time, homework passes, stickers, bonus points, and game time.
ClassroomConsequences
1. Warning2. Student Coference
3. Phone Call Home4. Detention5. Admin Interferance
I love to learn about my students, especially things that will help me better meet their academic needs and assist in their social development. Please feel free to contact me during the year with any information you think would help me do this.
Class information will be posted on Google Classroom. https://classroom.google.com

Grades (weight of assignments)❖ Homework (10%)❖ Class work and Tests (80%)❖ Interim Diagnostic (10%)
I do not give very much homework, so it is important to understand that when I do, it must be completed! All tests will have study guides that will be completed and gone over in class the days before the test. Study guide answer keys will be posted on Google Classroom, too the day before a test is given.
Grading Scale:A 93-100 B 85-92 C 75-84 D 67-74 F 66 and below
ZAP (Zeros Aren’t Permitted)Completing assignments are an essential component of your child’s learning experience. To maximize success at Slidell Junior High, we have adopted a “no zero policy” called “ZAP.” Students who fail to complete assignments will be pulled from PE or will come in before school to complete their work, losing points for late work. When a student refuses to come make up the work 2 times, they will be assigned to ZAP Hall after school to complete missing work. Parents will be contacted.
Checking JPAMS/Grades:It is incredibly important to check studentgrades on a regular basis, and if you have anyquestions, do not hesitate to contact me.Incomplete grades or missing grades need to befinished in a timely manner.
Continuity of Learning
Technical Problems
I understand technical issues happen. (It will happen to me, too). If possible, contact me prior to class to address technical problems. Assignments given as a worksheet through google classroom may not always work using computers at home.
Google Meets
I will start Google Meets for absent/quarantined students on August 25th. Students are expected to log onto Google meet using the link on the banner of google classroom in the first 5 minutes of their class hour. Assignments will be posted on Google Classroom to complete online, but they CAN be done on loose-leaf and turned in when the student returns. Just let me know this information, so I don’t mark the grade as a zero.
