Are we expected to take notes in class?
YES! All students in my class are expected to take notes. As we go through the material I may cue you as to what is important, however you should quickly get a "feel" for what should be written in your notebook.Back to Top

Do you offer extra credit?
YES! Every week there is a new question on the board for each grade. If answered correctly on an INDEX CARD, you will receive 1 point toward your grade. These points add up, so I strongly encourage you try the extra credit questions. You can't lose! Back to Top

What is your late homework policy?
Good question. I expect homework to be completed on the day it is due. If it comes in late, it should be shown to me. Daily homework assignments such as packet pages are worth 5 points. If you forget your homework, you earn a zero for that assignment. If you complete it and show me the work by the next day, I will give you 1 point for the assignment. Other late assignments will go down one letter grade (or one point - depending on the worth of the assignment) each day it is late. If there is a pattern of late assignments, there will be a memo on your Edline report, or I will contact parents via email. The grade on Edline will reflect the missing work and how it affects your grade. Back to Top
