Class Work:
On most days we will have a "DO NOW" problem at the beginning of class. As soon as you arrive in class, copy the problem into your notebook and then begin working on it. All problems done in class should be copied into your notebook.

Homework:
Without a consistent and thorough effort you cannot expect to do well !
It is expected that you do every assignment and bring it to class. You must make up all assignments the next day after an absence. Attempt all problems and check your answers in the back of the book. Use your notes and textbook examples if you are having difficulty. If you are still unable to solve the problem, call a classmate, ask a friend or relative. If you are still baffled, email at: JBarry@yorktown.org . Show all work and answer all questions if you want full credit. Always copy down the problem! Be neat and organized.

All Homework should have the following heading:
Your Name Date: mm/dd/yy
Page and Problem numbers ( For example: P 53 #1-23 odd)

Attendance Policy
If you are absent, you are still responsible for the material covered in class. You should get the assignment from another classmate. If you miss a test, you are responsible to make it up the day you return. Cutting a test or quiz will result in a grade of zero. Cutting a class on any day will result in a detention and a loss of 6 points from the Performance grade.

Grading Policy
Quarterly grades are composed of the following:

B1

Math 3

Math 1

HW
20% 15% 15%

Tests
80% 85% 85%

Cheating or talking during a test will result in a zero for that test.

HW Grade
Every student will receive a performance grade of 100 points at the beginning of each quarter. This grade can be reduced by any of the following:

6 points for each missing homework or unexcused absence
3 points for an incomplete homework
1 point for coming to class unprepared (no notebook, writing utensil, calculator, or ruler)
2 points for every late after the second late

Extra Help:

Extra help is usually available 9^th period every day except Friday. Math is cumulative, so seek help early. Do not wait until you are totally lost in class. I will always hold an extra help session the day before a test.

Classroom Rules:

             Rule #1:  We will all respect each other
              Rule #2:   Be on time and ready to work
              Rule #3:   Listen and follow directions

Consequences:

All rule infractions or disruptions to the lesson will be dealt with and evaluated on an individual basis. They may involve any of the following: warning, class detention, loss of bonus points, phone call home, and written discipline referral.
