Are you available for extra help after class?
I am usually available at brunch, lunch, or after school by appointment.
How do you grade homework?
Each homework assignment is worth two points unless it is a project of
some kind.
You can earn two points by:
1) following the procedure for doing homework,
2) bringing homework to class,
3) correcting it in class,
4) reworking problems you miss,
5) and turning it on time.
No work, no credit.
Do you accept late assignments?
Not unless you have made arrangements with me in advance.
What is your absence/missed work policy?
If you miss school due to illness, you have extra time to catch up with
school work. For example, if you are absent for two days, you have two
days to catch up and your work is due on the third day.
Where can I find my grades?
Grades are online. Your parents need to create a Pinnacle
account and then you can check your grades regularly. The school office staff
can help set up the
account.
How can I improve my grade?
Some things you can do to improve your grade:
1) Do your homework regularly
2) If something is unclear ask questions during class time.
3) Study for quizzes by doing practice problems.
4) Study for tests just like the quizzes!
Do you give extra credit assignments to improve grades?
There are no extra credit assignments to help pick up grades.
How can I/my parents contact you?

message by calling the school phone number. My extension is 216.
