Welcome to Altadena Middle School!
Key Points for Curriculum Night • Curriculum Goals • Homework Expectations • Attendance and Assignments • Late/Missing Work • Grading Policy
Throughout middle school, students shouldcontinuetodevelopproficiencywith the Common Core’s eight Standards for Mathematical Practice:
Homework • Assigned approximately 2-4 nights per week as practice and/or reinforcement of concepts • HW assignments are to be recorded in planner/agenda • When unsure of concepts, students are to use their resources to assist them with assignments (notes, textbook, logic, reasoning). • HW credit is earned for attempting to complete assignments, and students are expected to come to class prepared to ask questions when they are unable to do so. • Not everything will be right on the first try, but it is figuring out what went wrong that helps students to learn.
Late or Missing Assignments • Late homework accepted one day late for ½ credit. No credit given for assignments turned in more than one day past date due.
Attendance and Assignments • Homework and assessments must be made up when absent • Students have one day for every day absent to make up work for full credit When a student is absent, it is their responsibility to: • find out about missed assignments and notes • copy missed notes, complete and turn in missed assignments • talk to the teacher to arrange a time to make-up missed assessments.
