Absence Policy
Students will be given a maximum of 3 class days to make up any missed assignments due to absence. Extensive absences will be handled on a case by case basis.

Homework
In order to receive credit for late homework (except for assignments missed due to illness or other excused absence), the student MUST come after school on Monday with the late assignments completed and go over them with me to ensure mastery and understanding.

If an assignment is late due to illness or other excused absence, the student has up to 3 days to hand in the assignment for credit, but is still encouraged to go over his/her work with the teacher to ensure mastery of skills.

Grading
Your grade will be broken down as follows:
- Participation: 15%
- Homework 20%
- Classwork: 20%
- Assessments: 50%
  - Quizzes: 20%
  - Tests 25%
Note: Math/Science STEM Lab grades will be entered into the gradebook under the "Classwork/Homework" and “Tests/Projects” category.

After School Hours
This year, my after school help day will be Monday. Should you have any questions, please feel free to come on Mondays after school to work through them. After school help runs from 3:00 until 4:00. Any other appointments will have to be made in advance.

If you are staying any day other than Monday you need to ask at least one day in advance of the day you plan on staying.

**Change to late assignments** For any assignment that is not with the students ( except for the first week of school) and is NOT handed in before 3 pm that day it is considered late.

I will be taking 10% off of Projects and take home quizzes every day that they are late.
I will also be taking 5% off any homework, classwork or other assignments that are handed in late.
Expectations

1) Students NEED to have pencils. They will Not be allowed to complete any math work in any color pen. If any assignment is completed in pen it will be returned to the student. The student must redo the assignment in pencil before I will accept the assignment.

2) I expect students to bring their homework, notebooks, and planners -if they are using one- to school every day.

3) Students are expected to show ALL work when compelting any math assignment. If there is no work shown on the assignment or attached to the page, the assignment will not be accepted as is until there is work shown to support student answers.
-The work can be attached on seperate sheet(s) of paper.
- All work written on a separate sheet of paper must be numbered. I will not accept work that is not numbered.

4) Make Up assignments:

Students will ONLY be allowed to redo quizzes and homework that they have scored Below an 80 on. There will be no make ups for Classwork and Tests.

a) if students are struggiling with topics they should be staying after school at least one day a week.
