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%
