Late Work Policy:
You are responsible for working at home on any
assignments that you do not finish in the class time I provide. All assignments
should be turned in on time. If an assignment is not turned in on time, the
student will receive the following:
- 5 pts deducted for the 1st day
- 10 pts deducted for the 2nd day
- 20 pts deducted for the 3rd day
- 30 pts deducted for the 4th day
After the fourth day late, the assignment will no longer be
accepted. Zeros can only be made up under extreme circumstances or through
special arrangements with the teacher. I will accept late work if you were
absent.
Absences:
In the case of an excused absence, the student is
allowed two make-up days for each excused absence day. If you miss the lesson
it is your responsibility as an excellent student to schedule a time with me to
make up the lesson. You are responsible for missed assignments.
Grading Policy:
Six Weeks Test: 25% of grade
Homework, Quizzes, Classwork, Projects, Journal, Participation-
75% of grade
Testing Policy: If you score less than an 80% on a quiz you
may make corrections for half credit on each problem. It is your responsibility
to do this! The only exception is the 6 weeks exam, because of district policy.
It will take hard work, dedication, and discipline, but I am confident in your
abilities to get it done.
Excellence!
This will be
a challenging year and you will have more responsibility as a 7th
grade student. Your goal is to become a student who is EXCELLENT- this means
that you do your best in everything: behavior, classwork, tests, etc. I will
not accept excuses for your behavior. Do all your work, ask questions, be
EXCELLENT, and expect success in the 7th grade and in YOUR FUTURE!
Disclaimer: This syllabus is subject to change should unanticipated
events merit it.
Detached, sign and return to teacher
I have read this course syllabus and will adhere to the
rules and expectations in my math class.
