15. Homework Policy ASK QUESTIONS!! I LOVE QUESTIONS!! But first, I am going to give you 4 minutes to ask your table questions on the homework. If your table does not know, then you can ask me!!!

16. Were you Absent? It is your responsibility to look at my website for the notes, ask a friend, or come in at lunch or after school to copy the notes. Copying notes cheating!!!! All notes are due the day of your note check! You are not excused if you were absent.

17. Absent Work You must make up tests/ quizzes no later than one week after your return or you will receive a zero. You and I will schedule a time the day you return to take the assessment.

18. Absent Work If you are absent, next to the assignment on your stamp sheet you will write Absent.. You have one extra day to turn in late homework for full credit.

19. Note Taking/ Group Work I expect 100% of students to take notes and follow along. No talking during this activity During group work, I expect everyone to be working/on task and helping each other. Don't ask Ms. Huls questions unless everyone in the group has the same question.

20. Test Retakes After each quiz/ test I will give you a deadline on when you can retake it for a higher grade. No more waiting until the end of the semester to retake quizzes/ tests! **ADD: You can get up to an 85% on your quizzes/ tests.

21. Whiteboards! There are four whiteboard markers in your basket. When you leave my classroom, there should be four whiteboard markers in my basket! There is NO drawing on my whiteboards. That is how the markers are running out of ink. Whiteboards are used only to do math problems. Put the cap back on the marker when you are done!

22. Whiteboards! Do not show me your whiteboard until I say “Show me.” I must see 100% participation. I am giving 15 participation points/ week ( 5 per class period). If you are not doing whiteboards, you will not get your full 5 points!!!

23. Dismissal! Clean up your area. Make sure there are four whiteboard markers in your cup. Throw away all trash and food. Do not put any papers in the basket. That is NOT a garbage can! Wait until Ms. Huls dismisses you.
