Below is a copy of the Math Guidelines that went home the 1st day of school. It addresses a lot of common concerns parents have including homework and grading policies.

MATH DEPARTMENT GUIDELINES

• EXPECT DAILY HOMEWORK.
  • (3 incomplete assignments will be assigned detention.)
• EXPECT TESTS AT THE END OF EACH UNIT
  • Test reviews will be sent home to be signed by parents the night before the test (5 bonus points on  test if signed). Reviews are VERY SIMILAR to the test. Working the review will be a good indicator of how well the student will do on the test.
• KEY TO UNDERSTANDING MATH IS PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!
• INCOMPLETE/INCORRECT DAILY WORK.
  • May be completed by the NEXT day for no more than 70%.
• PLEASE UTILIZE E-MAIL IF/WHEN POSSIBLE.
  • Teachers can respond more quickly to email than phone calls, and it is more reliable than phone messages.

7TH GRADE GRADING POLICY

• DAILY WORK – 50%
  • HOMEWORK
  • QUIZZES
• TESTS – 50%

TUTORIALS

• Every morning from 7:40-7:55
