GENERAL WORK POLICIESHomework: this will include all

homework assignments and notes taken during class. Students can earn up to 4 points per day (3 for the assignment and 1 for notes)

Problem Solving/MSP: these assignments will be given throughout the year to strengthen skills and prepare for state testing. They cannot be redone, so students need to do their best the first time through.

GENERAL WORK POLICIES Reviews/Quizzes: these are done at

random to see if students are grasping current material. They cannot be retaken.

Daily Work Habits: points based on behavior, participation, effort in class, etc.

Tests: all tests can be retaken within one week of the date they are passed back. The retake will not be the same as the original test, but will cover the same concepts. Students can earn full credit on a retake. Parents must sign the original test copy and corrections must be made.
