SYLLABUS
Geometry

Instructor:     Mrs. Laura Brown, Room P3 
Email:          brownl@wcschools.com

Course Goals and Objectives: 
	This course is designed to enhance students’ applicable algebra 
skills and to make connections between math and everyday life.  This class 
is also a building block to prepare students for future mathematics courses 
as well as to prepare them for the ACT.

Class Fee:  $3.00 is required per each student.

Materials / Supplies Needed:
•	notebook or folder with loose-leaf paper
.       Composition Book (not a spiral)
•	At least 2 pencils each day
•	Appropriate textbook (issued by the teacher)
•	Calculators (highly recommended TI 84 plus silver or TI nspire)
.       Geoemtry Kit (compass, ruler, protractor, graph paper) 
•	All other supplies needed will be told to you with ample notice

Classroom Rules and Expectations:  
1.	Be Punctual (be in your assigned seat before tardy bell rings)
2.	Be Prepared (have all supplies with you and ready to use when bell 
        rings, i.e. pencils sharpened, calculators, ect.)
3.	Be Respectful (follow all directions and behave appropriately in the 
        classroom.)
4.	Follow all other school rules listed in the student handbook!

Classroom Procedures and Drills:  
        Procedures will be discussed and practiced at length in class,
        this includes:
                     1. Fire Drill
                     2. Tornado Drill
                     3. Lock-Down Drill
                     4. Restroom Breaks
                     5. Daily Class Routines
                     6. Leaving the classroom
                     7. Tardies

Discipline Policy: (note: each offence will be appropriately documented)
•	All Lebanon High School policies will be followed.  Refer to your 
        student handbook. 
•	Minor infractions: students will be given a warning and a chance to 
        correct the behavior.  If the undesired behavior continues students 
        may be held after class and/or asked to complete a discipline  
        essay/reflection; parents will be notified.
•	The severe clause: in the event of a major infraction/physical 
        altercation with anyone for any reason or if the situation becomes  
        out of control, the student(s) involved will be immediately turned  
        over to the principal’s office.
•	Dress code violation: if the student is in violation of the dress 
        code required by the Wilson County School Board, the student will 
	receive a dress code violation form and will be sent to the office 
	where the administrator will determine the consequence.

Grading Policy:  
1.	Grades will be calculated by dividing the total points earned by the 
        students by the total points possible.  
2.	A grade sheet will be issued to allow the parent and student the 
        ability to easily determine the current grade.  
3.	Graded assignments will include but are not limited to tests, pop-
        quizzes, in-class assignments, homework checks, projects, and daily  
        grades.  Cheating will not be tolerated.  
4.	Homework and in-class assignments will be checked randomly.  Usually 
        they will be checked for completion only.  A complete problem is  
        one in which the original problem is written down along with all  
        work, not just the answers.  Occasionally assignments will be    
        checked for accuracy:

Grading Scale:
	A = 93-100%
	B = 85-92.9%
	C = 75-84.9%
	D = 70-74.9%
	F = Below 70%
