Updates
With second quarter beginning I wanted to make sure that all students had the opportunity to start off right.
Grading Policy:
Formal grades (tests, quizzes, and projects): 65%
Informal grades (HW, classwork, warm ups): 35%
Homework is assigned daily Monday– Thursday and grades go in weekly on Fridays. Homework will be accepted late with penalty up to one week after.
Any zeros can be made up for partial credit. The student is responsible for asking me for extra copies as needed.
Corrections are to be completed for ALL formal grades regardless of the grade.
From this point on, quizzes will be weighted as half of a test and will NOT be eligible for a retest. We want to encourage students to learn from their mistakes, supporting our Cambridge attribute of being a reflective learner. Therefore, students should use their quizzes and corrections as study material for the test. If the original test grade is higher than the quiz grade, the test grade will replace the lower quiz grade. For tests, the retake policy will remain the same. However, the retake test will NOT replace a lower quiz grade.

Help Sessions: Tuesday and Thursday at 8:15
Test/ Quiz dates are posted on my website: msolneymath.weebly.com
