Reassessments  Reassessments for all 8 th grade students will be during the 1 st and 2 nd quarters. I do not expect Geometry students to reassess, but it is available.  NO reassessments will be administered during the 2 nd semester.  A contract must be completed and signed by you, your learner, and Mr. Haginduff before the reassessment is administered.  Each learner will have 5 school days to complete the contract, schedule a time to reassess, and take the assessment. Mr. Haginduff is flexible during this process, and communication is of most importance.  Course 3 students that score an 80 or below on a unit exam will be required to reassess.

Homework Expectations  Work and/or reasoning is shown for all problems.  No more than 45 minutes of hard work is required each night.  If a student has worked hard for 45 minutes and has not completed the assignment, then stop and you (parent/guardian) will sign and date the paper.  Homework is not fully complete until all the problems are completed, checked, corrected (with work), graded (100, 85, 75, 65), and turned in to the appropriate box.  If homework is not completed by the due date and the learner has scored less than 75% on a “Gut Check Quiz” then the student will be asked to show me their homework. If they do not have previously assigned homework, then the learner will be assigned to HWC.  For late work, a learner will earn an 80% or 70% for accelerated classes.

Discipline Process for Mr. Haginduff’s Class Rules  Respect for myself, the teacher and my peers. This includes private and public property.  Work hard, always try and use good manners. This includes and is not limited to new concepts, class work, projects, homework, and peer interactions.  The classroom is our learning environment. When the bell rings you should: Be in your seat and begin the “Do Now”.  Bring required materials to class.
