FAQFrequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
What is my grading scale?????????
Is homework assigned every night? Homework is assigned Monday-Thursday. We will do our best to complete as much as possible in class. Any unfinished work should be completed at home. How long should it take to complete Math HW? As long as your student listens in class, asks questions when he/she does not understand, copies the examples in class, takes good notes, and uses class time wisely, the homework should not take any longer than 20 minutes per night for the average student. How far in advance will tests be announced? Tests will be announced at least 5 days in advance. What Math materials should be taken home daily? Students should bring their binders and Columbia Express (agenda) home daily. Math workbooks should remain in locker unless noted other wise and the Math textbook is to remain at home at all times. Mainly, I just check for effort. But once every two weeks, homework is collected and taken as a HW quiz grade. What is your no heading/no name policy? Typically I will go through the assignments and identify the no name papers. There is a penalty: 1/2 point deducted off the grade. On HW assignments, if papers are not headed properly no credit will be given. When can students come in for extra help? Students can sign up for tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 A.M. If additional assistance is needed, I will make arrangements to meet with him/her during connections and possibly after school. Can my child do corrections on assignments? Corrections can be done on tests that are not multiple choice, quizzes, and classwork assignments. All corrections must have a parent signature, the corrections must be done on a separate sheet of paper (attach to the back of the original assignment) and turned in the following school day. |
