You will be marked tardy each time you are late. Every three days late translates to an absence from class. When you are absent, you are expected to complete all notes, classwork, and homework.

The teacher will follow the schools policy on each of these items. VI.

Student Progress Student progress can be monitored through the Parent Portal of the Genesis Student Information System. This system will enable you to access student grades and attendance online. This student information will be updated in a timely fashion throughout the school year. VII. Grading Policy Each assignment is given a point value. At the end of each marking period, the number of points earned is divided by the number of possible points earned to determine a percentage grade for the marking period.

1. WARMUPS Every day you will complete a warm-up in your notebook. The warm-ups will be made up of problems like the ones you've already seen. 2. HOMEWORK Every night you will have a homework assignment. Homework will be checked for a grade! Homework is worth 50 points. Each student starts with 50 points points are deducted when a student is not prepared. 3. NOTEBOOK Each student is to have an organized notebook where homework, warm-ups, notes, classwork, tests, and quizzes can be stored. It is important to keep your notebook organized and make corrections to the work in your notebook. There will be notebook quizzes each marking period. The questions will consist of warmup, homework, and example questions. Each class session, one student will be the class scribe. That student will create a post on the class blog summarizing and explaining that days lesson. 4. EXTRA CREDIT Tests and quizzes will have extra credit at my discretion. Any E.C. given on a test or quiz will go directly on that grade. 5. TESTS/QUIZZES All tests will be announced. If you are absent and miss a quiz or test, you have the number of days you were absent to makeup the work. If work is not made up by that date, you will not receive credit, and a zero (0) will be recorded in the gradebook. It is YOUR responsibility to make an appointment with Mr. Lomas to makeup any quizzes or tests. Makeups will be done outside of class (ie. During study hall or after school) VIII. CHEATING All students who turn in the same work as another student will receive a ZERO (0) for that assignment no questions asked! IX. Additional Help The class blog is an excellent place to get extra help, especially on homework problems. It can be found at: http://LomasAlgCon.blogspot.com. I will be available Tuesdays after school from 2:30 3:15, and if more help is needed by appointment. X.
