Grading
Using Jupitergrades.com If you provided your email
address on the first day paperwork, you shouldve
received a weekly progress report every Monday. If
you didnt provide me with your email address,
please do so on the sign in sheet.

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. If your child needs additional help, he / she may access the
online tutorial on my website or at PHSchool.com. The web codes (example:
ave-0605 is the web code for the tutorial to chapter 6, Lesson 5) for video
tutorials, practice quizzes, and additional study aids are on p. 29 (7
th
grade
book) or p. 27 (8
th
grade book).

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. I will be
available to conference with you and your child on Wednesdays and Fridays
from 2:15 3:00 p.m.

youll be covering each day. Youll also know whether
you are being introduced to this standard for the first
time, developing your understanding of it, or expected to
show mastery of it by this time.

How Can I Do Well On Tests?
Practice Tests are completely identical to tests (in fact, they are alternate versions of the test). Every
item on the practice test is exactly the same as the items on the test. The only difference is the values
(numbers) and order of the questions. Practice Tests are assigned as homework and reviewed at
least one week before the correlating test, so areas of difficulty can be addressed in tutoring.

Multiple versions of the test are given on the day of the test. Test questions are identical to one another.
However, the order of the questions / choices and the values (numbers) used in the problems will differs
between test versions. Tests versions are identified by letter format (Example: A, B, C, etc.)
