Grade based on the following weighting Tests / Quizzes = 50% (Students will be given a practice test prior to chapter tests. This will be a great study aid.) Participation & Behavior = 10% (score of 0 -3 daily) Homework = 20% (score of 0 -3 daily) Interactive Notebook (IN) = 20% (score of 0-5 per entry)
Make Up Policy 1 week from the due date (no make-up work over one week late will be accepted) Homework INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK: Once a lesson is completed, students will be asked to summarize it (one paragraph or more) on the bottom of the Cornell notes (copied from the board or overhead) and do a warm-up or follow-up activity on the left page. TEXT BOOK: Homework practice problems will primarily be assigned out of the text book. The text book may be kept home, We will be using the workbook in class, so this must be brought to school daily or participation will be affected. WORK: All homework problems requiring a numerical answer MUST show all work or thinking (picture, diagram, table, etc.). Missing work and / or poor effort will have a negatively impact on homework grades. SELF -CORRECTION: Students are required to self correct their homework using the green selected answers section in the back of their book. They have been instructed to redo problems that were incorrectly answered, and, if possible, ask for help. Students should come prepared to share the problems they couldnt solve after a few attempts.
How You Can Help CHECK Jupiter Grades Daily: Grades and missing assignments will be updated nightly. Please check homework and missing assignments on a daily basis in order to address issues or concerns immediately.
MONITOR Homework: Ensure that your child works out every problem,, self- checks the homework using the answers in the back of the book and. attempts to correct problems that were answered incorrectly If possible, help guide your childs thinking.

REQUIRE Your Child to Attend After-School Tutoring if Needed: I will be holding tutoring sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:15 3:15 p.m. This is not intended to be a homework club but rather a place your child can get help with problems he or she is already struggling with. Students are required to have written permission to attend tutoring sessions. In your note, please state the time you will be picking up your child if this is earlier than 3:15 p.m.
HELP Your Child Prepare for Tests: Students will occasionally bring home pretests or practice tests which are identical to the actual tests (the only difference is the values and order of the problems / choices). These assignments will be reviewed in class and become a study guide that students are encouraged to use to help them prepare for the test (which will administered at least a week after the practice test is assignemed). Students are encouraged to seek help with problems they missed or didnt understand on the practice test (i,e. tutoring).
CONFERENCE if Needed: Please email me to set up a conference if there are concerns about your childs grades or behaviors (documented in Jupiter Grades) that may be negatively affecting your childs performance in class.
