Absence Policy: You are expected to make up any work missed because of any absence. You are responsible to request the make-up assignment(s). You will have the number of days absent plus one additional day to make up any missed work for authorized absences. However, long-term assignments (one week or more from the assignment date to the due date) are due on the started due date, regardless of the absence and are not accorded extra days upon return to school. Long-term illnesses will be dealt with on an individual basis.

Tardy Policy: Students are expected to be on time to every class every day. Beginning each semester, if tardy: 1st -3rd: verbal warning by teacher and parent contact on 3rd. 5th : teacher will speak with parent/guardian. 7th : 30 minute after school detention served with the teacher in the classroom. Teacher will speak to parent/guardian again. After the 8th tardy, teacher discretion may be used for consequences. Once a student has served three 30 minute detentions with a teacher, a student may be referred to the Dean’s Office for defiance of authority.

Late Work Policy: All assigned work in this course is important to your understanding of the concepts being covered. It is essential that you complete all work on time. Coursework will not be accepted after the assessment covering the content of that assignment.

Formative Assessments: Students must be able to demonstrate understanding of the mathematics concepts in each lesson . However, if a student would like to retake a quiz he/she may do so. The retake grade is the grade that counts. A grade reflects the understanding of concepts on the most recent assessment. Therefore, if a student does worse, the test grade will decrease.

Summative Assessment Retakes: Students must be able to demonstrate understanding of the mathematics concepts in each unit. However, if a student would like to retake a test he/she must meet the following requirements to be eligible: They are: Students must have a 60% or higher as a homework grade. Students must come in on their own time for a scheduled reteaching session. Reteaching work must be completed for 100% completion. Student must demonstrate active relearning. Students cannot make up the entire test. The original test will be broken into at least two parts. Students will decide which part they would like to retake to attempt to raise the old score. This opportunity will be provided for all of our tests, with the exceptions of the semester exams. The retake grade is the grade that counts. A grade reflects the understanding of concepts on the most recent assessment. Therefore, if a student does worse, the test grade will decrease.

Student Integrity Oath I agree to conduct myself with integrity in all regards. I commit to presenting my own work, writing, words, and ideas at all times, unless otherwise attributed. In addition, I will not copy, use communication devices during tests, post assessments for public access, falsely identify myself, or use inappropriate materials. Engaging in any of these activities represents a breach of this oath and subjects me to the disciplinary code of Legacy High School and the Adams 12 Five Star School District. It is my honest intention to uphold this oath.

Plagiarism/Cheating Policy: Plagiarism means to present, as one’s own, the work, writing, words, ideas, or computer information of someone else. (Sources could be published or unpublished.) Cheating is supplying, receiving or using devices. (Examples: looking at or using someone else’s work, using crib notes/stolen notes, or using disallowed equipment, etc.) Consequences for plagiarism and cheating are as follows: Matrix for Plagiarism/Cheating (covers all classes, lasts all year)  1st – 0 on the assignment, teacher calls home and referral  2nd – 0 on the assignment, 1 day suspension, parent/teacher conference, referral  3rd – 0 on the assignment, 2 days suspension  4th – 0 on the assignment, referral to District Discipline Hearing General Guidelines: Assessment and grading standards are applied consistently to students of similarly demonstrated ability. Assessments are based solely on demonstrated student progress and achievement of reasonable and clear standards. Students who participate in group projects will receive a grade for work as an individual as well as a group performance grade.

In order to receive feedback from me, it is vital for you to complete all assignments. If you experience problems with assignments, please see me individually.
