Grades
of .5 or higher are rounded up only on semester grades. HomeworkDoing your homework completely is vital to your success
in this class. Make sure you
attempt each problem whole-heartedly and that you ask for help on
questions you do not understand.
You will have homework everyday we meet and will be due the next
meeting day unless otherwise stated.
Each homework should be done in pencil on 3-holed paper (not
spiral) and should have your name, date, period, and the assignment.
Homework will be worth 10 points and points will be given based on
completeness. You must show
all work to receive credit.
You will have homework
quizzes, so make sure to write clearly and write the problem as well
as the work for the solution. Homework
must be made up within 2 class periods if you are absent.
One late homework may be turned in per quarter when accompanied by
a “sad story (described in class).”
No other late work will be accepted.
You are responsible to write the assignment correctly and to
complete the correct questions.
Tests/QuizzesThere will be 4 tests given through the semester on
the dates below, which will cover any material from the semester up until
that point. Quizzes will
be given periodically.

(Note this test is just prior to Winter Break.
You will need to make arrangements to take the test prior to this
date if you are going to be gone.) Test RetakesTest retakes will be given for students who receive a D or
F. The scores of the two
tests will be averaged, with the highest-grade possible of 75%. Test retakes must be completed on the day offered
unless previously arranged with the teacher.
Students may be required to come in for help before being allowed
to retake the test. FinalA comprehensive final will be given on the final day in
January. Absences: Absences are strongly discouraged. Although it will be required that you make up all work, time
and participation in class cannot be made up.
Missed assignments are due within 2 class periods.
If you are present on the day of a test or quiz, you
will be required to take the test or quiz.
Missed tests and quizzes must be made-up immediately upon return
to class. Unexcused
absences result in a grade of 0 for all missed work.
I suggest that you find 3 people in the class from whom you can get
the homework assignment and notes if you have to miss class.
Assignments will be available on the class website.
25 extra credit points will be given for perfect attendance.
5 points will be deducted for each absence.
Name_________________ Phone number________________ Name___________ ______Phone number________________ Name_________________Phone number ________________ Tardies: A tardy occurs when you are not in your seat, ready to work
when the bell rings. 2 points
will be deducted from the attendance points for each tardy.
As per school policy, 3
tardies result in parent contact and late homework.
5 tardies result in a referral and Saturday school.
The LCC handbook contains the information on the tardy policy. Leaving Class: Students will not be allowed to
leave without a pass. Each
time a student leaves, he/she must use the orange card in the LCC
handbook. Three bathroom
passes will be given each semester to be used in emergencies.
Two of the passes can be turned in at the end of the semester, each
for 10 homework points of extra credit. Help Outside of Class: My desire is that
students get all the help necessary to be successful. I will be available for help before school (about 7:15am) on
most 1-3-5 days. I can also
be available most 1-3-5 days after school.
There is also help available at the LCC collaboration center after
school and Wednesday evenings. This
information will be posted. Note to Students: My goal for the year is to help
you to learn and be successful, but you will need to take the first
steps towards this goal. Although
this may not be easy, I believe that all of you can succeed, and wish this
for all of you. Please
come to me with any questions that you have and join me in taking risks in
order to learn. Website: The course Website can be accessed at http://teachers.sduhsd.k12.ca.us/svalverde
and clicking on the page for MAT. This
site contains information about the course, contact information,
information for use in class, a list of assignments by day, links to your
grade, and links to other useful sites for students and parents. Please note that we will be using the computers in class so
each student will need to fill out an Acceptable Use Policy.
If you give me an email address on the form to return to me, I
will email grade reports when they are updated.
Note to Parents: I
would like to see each of my students become successful and confident
in this math class, and I am looking forward to working with you to make
this happen. As stated in
this syllabus, the students will have homework everyday and it
should be recorded on their assignment sheet.
Please encourage them to complete their homework as it is
vital to their success on tests, quizzes, and in the class.
I plan to send home progress reports periodically and can
also send these over email. Grades
will also be available on the web.
If possible, email is the most efficient way to reach me, but
phone calls are always welcome. Please
come to me with questions or concerns.
Homework assignments and helpful links can be found on the web
site listed below.
