6. How do I know my child’s grade in your class?
Student work and assessments are posted on Aeries (MVUSD ABI).
Please check there often as I update it often
If there is a red blank, your child can still submit the assignment or take the assessment
If there is a zero, this cannot be made up. It indicates that the deadline for submission is passed.
If you see a “0.1”, your child submitted the checkpoint or other assessment, but got zero correct.

7. Where do I go to find assignments?
All assignments are posted on the class calendar on the school’s website:

8. Where are the assignments posted?
Is late work accepted?
Where are the assignments posted?
Late work is accepted up until the day of the scheduled test for the current module
Late work needs to be corrected by student prior to submission
If complete, it receives a score of 6/10
If it is between 50% and 100% complete, it will receive a score of 4/10
All assignments can be found in the classroom on the wall.
They are also posted on the class calendar on the school’s website:
If it is complete (all original problems copied, work shown, answers boxed; 10 points
If it is between 50% and 100% done or problems weren’t shown: 7 points
If an assignment is turned in with less than half done, the student will need to redo the assignment for late credit

9. Assignments & Checkpoints
Assignments (RSGs)
(10 points)
Checkpoints
(10 points)
An assignment is given just about every class; we will be moving at approximately 1 lesson per day of class
Graded on effort
100% complete: 10 points
50% < x < 100%: 7 points
Late 4 – 6 points
A checkpoint is a quick 4 – 5 question check to determine what students have learned; it is given when an assignment is due
Graded on accuracy
If student is absent for checkpoint, they will receive double points on assignment, which then will be graded on effort and accuracy

10. Quizzes and Tests There are two types of quizzes In-Class (on paper)
Online (computer-based)
Each module will have 1 to 2 tests; tests are always announced and posted at least 1 week before administered

11. Think Through Math (TTM)
Internet based program intended to teach gaps in your child’s learning in math
Students are required to pass approximately 1 lesson per week this year, totaling 4 per month, beginning in September
If student does not have internet or computer at home, student can sign up for Pride Period or do in the library before or after school
We will be attempting to give class time, but admin is still working on the accessibility for all math students in Math 1 and Math 2
NOTE: only “passed” lessons will count towards this requirement (not attempted ones)

12. Rules
All rules of the MMHS Handbook apply

I am looking forward to a great partnership and year with you!
