Tutoring Tues: 7: 45 am – 8: 10 am Thurs: 3: 45 pm – 4: 30 pm Reasons to come to tutoring: Makeup work from absence Test/Quiz corrections Re-Test or Re-Quiz Needing clarification on specific topic

Grading Policy 25% daily work (in class and homework) 75% assessments (quiz/notebook quiz – 25%) (test – 50%)

Assessment Retake Policy Student can retake any assessment that they did not achieve a 70%. If the student scores higher than a 70% on a retake, they will receive the grade of 70%. Retake must take place within 2 weeks and the student will be required to make corrections on their original assessment and attend tutorials. Only 1 retake is permitted per assessment. Note: if your student is in need of retaking more than 1 assessment per semester, it is likely that they are misplaced in their math class and I will be contacting the parents about moving them to an appropriate class.

Late/ Absent Work If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to get the work that was missed. He/she will have the same number of days they were gone to turn in the makeup work. If your student is out for more than 2 days, I suggest you contact me so I can leave their work in the student center for pick up. If they miss an assessment, they will be expected to take it when all their makeup work is due. If your student fails to turn in an assignment on time, there will be a 20 point penalty for turning it in 1 day late. After that, there will be an additional 5 points taken off for each day. After 3 weeks, the work will not be accepted for any credit.

Contacting Me: Best way is by email rather than the phone. I check my email throughout the day and my phone only once. You can expect a reply within 1 day, unless its the weekend.
