Mission Statement
We are a Christ-centered college preparatory school that celebrates
the whole student by equipping hearts and minds to reflect Gods
glory through academic excellence, artistic expression, competitive
athletics, and service to the community.
Materials:
Algebra 2, Pearson
Notability
Calculator
Christian Worldview
Tutoring:
My desire to teach comes from a passion to share Christ and also find ways
in which to make mathematics come alive for students. God has a unique
path for students to walk and I love that I have the opportunity to come
alongside them for a short time and journey with them as they discover
their identity in Christ and seek out meaningful and intentional
opportunities to live out their faith in the world.
Description
And one of [the
Pharisees], a lawyer,
asked him a question to
test him. Teacher, which
commandment in the law
is the greatest? He said
to him, You shall love
the Lord your God with
all your heart, and with
all your soul, and with all
your mind Matthew
22:35-37
Goals

Grades
1. Quizzes, Tests, &Exams:
Students will take between 1 and 2 quizzes for each unit to check for understanding
of the concepts and to identify areas of improvement. Pop quizzes may be given
sporadically throughout the semester.
Students will take a test at the end of each unit and one cumulative exam at the end
of the semester. Tests & exams may include multiple choice, matching, true/false,
and free response questions. Tests may also include some questions from previous
units.
2. Homework:
Throughout the course, you may expect daily homework assignments. These
homework assignments are of paramount importance to help aid in your
understanding and mastery of the content. On occasion additional readings and/or
review problems will be assigned.
3. Projects:
Each semester will have one larger project that will be completed outside of class.
Details for these projects will be given in the first month of each semester with
rubrics and expectations provided.
4. Classwork:
Points are earned with the completion of daily warm-up problems and in class
assignments. Points are also earned for active, positive participation, including but
not limited to coming prepared, asking questions and appropriate classroom
behavior. Points will be deducted for inappropriate behavior, tardiness, a lack of
participation, and a lack of preparedness (this includes not possessing the necessary
materials).

Attendance
My attendance policy is consistent with that in the Student Handbook. Pay specific
attention to the following: Students are expected to take quizzes/tests that they missed for
an excused absence on the day they return to my class. I will allow students to turn in
work with an altered due date only if the student contacts me (preferably via email) prior
to returning to school. Failure to do so may result in late credit on any grades missed
during said day(s). If an absence occurs, it is the students responsibility to find out
what they missed.
Late Work
1. Assignments submitted late will have the following penalties:
a.
Late= 50% off, after the end of the unit test: no credit. Regarding excused absences
on due dates: students must submit work upon their return to class for full credit.
Miscellaneous
For any policies not addressed here explicitly, my expectations fall in line with those
of the student handbook. My expectation is that you all maintain a high level of
achievement in this course. Failure to do so will result in a meeting with me to
discuss your continuation in this course. I believe that by working together, we
should all make it through the year successfully. Schedule and grades will be
regularly updated online. Information online does not supersede information given
in class.
This syllabus serves as a rough template for the semester and may be altered when
deemed appropriate. Please check for updates in the weekly curriculum plan posted
both on digitopolis.weebly.com and on FAWEB.
