TEST & Quizzes
A test or quiz will be given almost every week, and a review will be given for homework before any test. I will
be available before and after school every day. Mrs. Perrault, our math tutor, will also be available two days a
week after school for any students that may need extra help. Any student that is planning to come before or after
school should meet with Mrs. Perrault or I to confirm that one of us is available.

EVERY STUDENT who does not earn a C or higher on a quiz or test will be expected to stay after school to
review the material covered.

HOMEWORK
Homework will be assigned daily. Homework will be graded on participation and effort.
5 = A valid attempt (NO MISSING HOMEWORK PROBLEMS)
4 = B 1 or 2 missing problems
3.5 = C Student skipped many problems, but put in the effort
Lower than 3.5 = F.

Each student will be given two homework passes that they may use at their discretion for any homework
assignment. Students MAY NOT use a homework pass on a review for a test or quiz.
Absent: Any missed work is the responsibility of the student. You will have up to a week to finish any work
you missed. Put make up work in appropriate basket.
