Daily Procedures

• When class begins, have your homework out and
  ready to correct.
• Copy homework assignment into your agenda book.
• Write the lesson title and date on the first line
  in your spiral. Begin solving daily review and be
  ready to answer.
• Take notes on the days lesson/work on lesson
  either with a partner or individually.

5
Class Notes

• You are permitted to use notes on tests and some
  quizzes so it is important to take excellent
  notes. If I take the time to write something on
  the board, chances are it is something that needs
  to be in your notes.

Homework

• Homework is assigned every night, and on Fridays
  if class work is not done.
• Homework is expected to be completed by the time
  the tardy bell rings.
• Always show all of your work.
• No Work No Credit, ½ work ½ credit
• Homework MUST be done in pencil. You have one day
  to make up homework unless you have been absent.
  Then you get the amount of days absent to make it
  up.

Absences

• If you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to
  first check my website for homework, then check
  with me for missing class work if there is any.
  You have as many days as you were absent to make
  up the work.

• If you missed a test or a quiz, you will need to
  schedule a time to come in at lunch, to make it
  up.

Extra Help

• If you need additional help with the topics we
  are learning, I am available at lunch or after
  school by appointment only. Just make sure to let
  me know you are coming so that I make myself
  available. Asking for help is never a bad thing.
