Supplies Notebook paper (re-supply during year) pencils (re-supply during year) Map pencils or markers Dry erase marker Graph paper Checking pen or pencil Folder Box of Tissues Pen is not to be used to do math assignments

Grades Major Grades: All tests and major projects will be averaged each six weeks. This is 60% of the six weeks grade. Daily Grades: All daily grades will be averaged each six weeks and are 40% of the six weeks grade. Daily work includes quizzes and minor projects. Homework grades: will be added to an assignment as extra credit.

If your son/daughter has a “blank” space in the grade book, DO NOT be alarmed. This just means that he/she may have been absent, the teacher has not yet graded his/her work, or he/she has additional time to complete. If an assignment is late it will appear as “missing” and a default grade of zero will automatically be averaged into the overall grade. This is the BEST way to keep up with your students progress.

Testing and Second Chances In order to retake a test to improve upon his/her grade a student MUST do the following: 1.Complete Test Corrections on a separate sheet of paper and must be completed for homework on the same day that it was returned to the student. This is for review and is required. 2.Attach the corrections to the original test. 3.Get a parent signature on the original test. 4.Return the Next Day 5.Retest will be distributed and students will have one night to complete for homework. 6.The average of the two scores will be the students replacement grade.

Homework will be assigned each evening in PreAp classes and on Monday and Wednesdays in all other classes. Students should write all assignments in their T-Wolf Tracker DAILY. Homework will be counted as extra credit and points will be added to a grade. Late work will be accepted; however, points will be deducted accordingly.
