Updates, Grading Policy, Class Procedures

Needed every day for class:
A Pencil!!!!
A Pen
Math notebook for notes
Agenda to record homework
Warm up notebook (left in class)
A book

Updates
With second quarter beginning I wanted to make sure that all students had the opportunity to start off right. A few things I have noticed:
Many students do not have all materials needed for class (listed to the left)
Students are not completing homework each night. Help by asking to see your student’s homework each night, even if they say it is complete
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.
Any Formal grade below a 79% can be retested to gain back points. Quizzes can earn half points back with corrections. Tests must be retested before school (see right) or during a lab time.
Quiz or test EVERY Friday

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