On special occasions

May I do work over if I am not satisfied with my grade?

My goal is for you to be successful in math.  I will do 
everything I can to make sure that you get the grade you want and 
deserve.  The best thing to do is to come and talk to me. You may 
do computer activities on that skill with approval from me.    
Bring the work directly to me and I will give you half of the 
points back you missed back.  That is, if you made an eighty, I 
would change the grade to a ninety.  If you do not have a 
computer at home, you may use one at school during homeroom, 
before school, or after school.  There might also be 
time during class.  You may take tests over for partial credit.  
You may correct any problems missed on a separate sheet of 
notebook paper, attach it to the initial work and turn it in for 
half credit back.

Can I get help with my math?

	You may stay after school for tutoring.  You may ask me 
before your class and during first period.  The computer lab will 
be available before and after school.  The lab is open most 
Saturdays from 8:00 to 12:00.  You may use the web site designed 
for your textbook.
Please, please, please ask questions in class if you do not 
understand.

How do I get my assignments if I am absent?

1.  Come and ask me.  
2.  Call a study buddy.  You should have three names of friends 
listed in your agenda for each class.
3.  Visit my teacher web page.
Please make up work promptly.

May I have a water bottle in class? How about a snack?

Yes.  Please do not squirt anyone, and recycle it when you are 
finished.  If you are hungry, tell me.  You can not learn if you 
have not eaten.

chomping or blowing bubbles.  Please dispose of it properly.
