Welcome to Geometry IA/IB

1. Mr. Fleisher This is a TEAM effort! Welcome to Geometry IA/IB

2. Expectations • Students will come to class each day with paper, pencil, and spiral notebook or three ring binder • Teacher will begin class on time and have all necessary materials ready • Students will come prepared to learn • Teacher will come prepared to teach

3. Class Rules • Respect Others -- Thoughts, speech, space, learning, time, property, etc. • Be on time -- in seat with materials & RTL • Be Prepared –Homework, writing utensil, notebook, textbook, etc. • Raise your hand if you need something • Pencil Sharpening, question, etc. • Follow directions the first time they are given • Obey All Other School Rules

4. Homework • Students will be required to write down any assigned homework and the day’s instructional focus each day. • If a student or class has difficulty returning homework on time, I may require a parent’s signature beside the homework assignment. This is to help ensure that parents are aware of the homework assignments given. • No credit will be given for late homework unless the student is absent. One day will be given for each absence to make up missed work.

5. Progress Reports • Will go out every three weeks • Will include tardy and absence totals • Will have teacher contact information on them • Must be signed and returned by the next school day for 100% homework credit • Detentions may be assigned for failure to turn them back in with parent signature

6. Credit Requirements • Student must pass with 70% or higher • Student must meet attendance requirement (no more than 6 absences per semester) • After school remediation may be expected second semester according to student performance and/or P.E.P.

7. Behavior • If a student is assigned a classroom detention, they may be expected to serve it before school at 7:15 or 7:30 since I have duties after school. • If a student does not serve a classroom detention, then I will turn in an office referral, which will lead to an office assigned detention. • If students fail to serve an office-assigned detention, then they may be suspended

8. Homework • Late homework will not be accepted if the students was present the day it was assigned. If a student is absent, then they will have one for each day absent to complete the assignment. • Students will receive a 100% for HW for simply attempting EVERY problem and showing their work. However, if a student does not do their HW, then they will receive a 0. All I am looking for is maximum effort!

9. Grading • Students can expect HW every day, quiz every Wed. and a test every Friday. • Semester Grade Weights • 1st Quarter 37.5% • 2nd Quarter 37.5% • Final 25% • Quarter Grade Weights • HW/Classwork 25% • Quizzes 25% • Tests 50%

10. Make-up • Students will be allowed to make up homework ONLY IF THEY WERE ABSENT THE DAY IT WAS ASSIGNED. • Students will have ONE WEEK from the original date to make up a missed quiz or exam • It will be the student’s responsibility to schedule a time to make up the quiz or exam. • Make-up times are offered after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:20 in the test make-up room. • A test not taken (made-up) will result in a 0, which will be detrimental to a student’s grade. • Students may retake any test to better their grade
