MAKE-UP POLICY

All makeup work is given per the student handbook and attendance rules. Absences the day before a test (except excused extended absences) will not excuse a student from taking a test. Missed quizzes and tests will be taken the day that the student returns. Any work assigned before the absence will be due the day the student returns. It’s the student’s responsibility to make-up assignments. Students are responsible for all announcements and material covered in class when absent. Continuous absences / tardiness to class have proven to be a factor for poor performance in this course.

EXTRA HELP

Please seek help as soon as possible if you are having difficulty, do not wait until the day of a quiz/test. I will be available for extra help; please let me know in advance if you are coming for help, as I may have other obligations. Please note that homework may be graded for completeness and/or accuracy, or as a quiz!! Math tutoring is available before and after school. Also, I update my school webpage daily with homework, quizzes, tests, and additional help for the course. BE SURE TO CHECK IT!!

The Testing chain

Each day you can earn two links. The numbers 1 and 2 will be written on the board.

If the class is talking when they shouldn’t be talking, or too loud a number will be erased and you will not get all of the links for the day.

When your links hit the floor everyone in the class will get 2 bonus points towards the next upcoming test.
