10 Procedures Warm-up 1.Sit in your assigned seat. You may NOT leave. 2.Take out Interactive Notebook. 3.Immediately begin the Warm-up assignment (approx. 12 min). 4.Keep all work in your Interactive Notebook 5.There are days quizzes will be given during Warm-up time (Quizzes are 30% of your total grade).

11 Procedures Instructional Time: 1.You are to focus while I am teaching. 2.Questions are encouraged – just make sure you raise your hand. 3.Do NOT get out of your desk while I am teaching! 4.Complete all assignments.

12 Procedures Homework: 1.The last +/-15 minutes of class is dedicated to MATH homework. 2.Questions are encouraged. 3.Class will be dismissed by the teacher. 4.All homework must be completed in order to qualify to retake any test.

13 Procedures Tests 1.Test dates will be posted several days in advance. 2.A review will be given the day prior. 3.You can expect 4-6 tests each 9 weeks. 4.The average of your test grades will count 50% toward your 9 weeks average (semester).

14 Test Retake Policy Unit or mid-unit tests may be retaken (NOT quizzes). ALL homework must be completed (ALL work shown). Retakes will not be the same as the original test. Retakes may be in a different format than the original test. A student may not retake a test once the next test is given. Once a nine weeks has ended and final grades are entered, students may not retake tests from that grading period. A student may retake a test as many times as possible within the given time frame UNTIL they score lower than the previous attempt. The highest grade will be recorded in INOW.

15 Test Retake Policy (cont.) Students must sign up to retake the test. If the student does not show up to take the test at the agreed upon time, they forfeit the right to retake that particular test and must keep the last grade earned. The teacher may decide to assign tutoring or review work prior to making up a test. Should that happen, the student forfeits their right to a retake if they do not complete this prerequisite work. IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO SIGN UP FOR MAKE UP TESTS. Retakes must be done on the dates listed on the sign-up sheet unless other arrangements are made with the teacher. The goal of this retake policy is MASTERY of the course objectives.
