BINDER EXPECTATIONS: Each student is required to have and maintain a three ring binder 1 inch minimum in width. The students may choose to purchase their own binder or use one provided by their teacher. Students should have at extra lined paper to be used as needed.

DAILY MATERIALS: Students must bring with them each day a pencil, their math binder and calculator. Students will not be excused to get missing supplies, nor will those supplies be provided by the teacher.

CALCULATOR REQUIREMENTS: The students will have access to a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator during class, however it is strongly suggested that students have their own calculator (best choice would be a TI-84) to use both at school and at home. Our belief is the sooner you buy the calculator, the sooner you learn how to use it effectively and the more use you get out of it!

LATE WORK: Late work will not be accepted except in the case of an absence. It is the responsibility of the student to get any work missed when absent. The work will be located in an absent folder as indicated by his or her teacher. Students will be given an equal number of days to complete missing work as he or she was absent.
