    1.  Cheating would be looking at someone else’s test, sharing a calculator, talking during the                              test, using your cell phone.

                    2.  Students cheating will receive a zero.

    3.  If you are absent the day before a test (usually a review day), you will be required to take the     test with the rest of the class.  If you are absent the day of the test, you are required to make up the test the following Monday before or after school in the math/science resource center.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Homework:

    1.  Homework is started at the end of the class period and finished at home.  Show your work for each problem.  Use the classroom examples as a guide.

     

                    2.  Assignments are due daily with work shown.  Extra Help is before or after school.   

     

    3.  For each day absent you will be allowed a day and a half to make up missed work.  Check   assignment sheet in the classroom for assignments.

     

    Quizzes:

                    There will be one or two quizzes every chapter to check comprehension.

                    2.  Stay caught up on your work and review frequently.

                    3.  Ask for help!  This is your responsibility.  I’m in my MSRC at least  hour before school and after school.

                    4.  Find a quiet place at home to study.
