HOMEWORK
PACKETS
Although homework will be graded daily,
it will not be collected daily.
It will be turned in as a packet on the day of the unit test. It is
important to assess you hw every day and record on your
hw packet
checklist.
Using a red pen, you will check your homework each day in class.
You are responsible for correcting any errors that you have made.
A correction means to re-work problem. You can use another sheet of
paper for you corrections or you can make the correction next to
the
original problem.
It is important that you correct your errors each
day.
Do not get behind on your corrections because it will be very
difficult
to catch up.
If you correct errors on your homework every night,
you
will be in a great position to ask questions in a timely manner -- and
that can only help you learn.
Homework packets are due on the day of the exam. As a rule, I
will
not accept them late without a darn good reason!

are from
progressive instruction questions
that we
discuss daily. These quizzes are specifically designed to encourage
you to examine and improve your computation and thinking skills.
After progressive questions are discussed they are
posted.
for you
to review.
TESTS
One test per
unit unless the unit is very lengthy.

ATTENDANCE
Attendance is a necessary component for
success in most classes,
but especially in math
classes. You are responsible for making up
any assigned work, this includes any notes . If you are absent, you
can determine the revised homework due date
by giving yourself a
grace period equal to the number of days you
were absent. In other
words, if you are absent for 1 day, you have
an extra school day after
you return to turn in missed work.
Should you need more time, see me BEFORE the homework due date and we can work something
out.
It is your responsibility to check the assignment log for any work
that
you may have missed.
Tests are announced
many days in advance. If you miss the day
before a test, you will be expected to take the test with the
class.
If you are absent the day of the test, you will need to make
arrangements to make up the test ASAP within the same week
of the absence.
Unexpected Absences
Work missed due to
lengthy unexpected absence will be dealt with on
an individual basis.
School
Activities
If you are
involved in school activities that may cause you to miss a
class, remember that your homework is still due. Be sure to drop
it
off and put it in the homework basket PRIOR to your event. You are
also responsible for the material that is covered. Any homework
that
is assigned will be due as assigned.
Outdoor Education
If you are involved
in Outdoor Education make sure you check the
calendar/syllabus on the
web site to get the assignments BEFORE you
leave. The curriculum at
this point of the school year is applying and
integrating previously
learned concepts to new material. I strongly
encourage you to learn and
complete the lessons before you leave for
outdoor education to avoid
getting behind. This can be difficult, but
not impossible. It will
take a commitment on your part. As much as
I would like to
re-teach an entire week of lessons to you individually,
time just does not allow
me to do so. If an exam is given the week
you are gone, you should
plan on taking it before you leave. It will
take some planning on your
part to be able to participate in outdoor
education, however, it can
be done, and I have been told by former
students that the extra
effort was well worth it.
