GRADING:

Your grade will consist of:

Tests 50%

Quizzes /Graded Assignments 30%

Daily Homework 20%

Tests: Cumulative tests will be given at the end of each unit.  Tests will be designed to model the Geometry Regents Examination, including “multiple choice” and “show your work” questions.  A midterm will be given in January and will count as two test grades.  Students will be taking the Geometry Regents Examination in June 2024.

Quizzes: Quizzes will be given periodically throughout each unit (at least one per unit). Check the monthly calendar for dates. 

Daily Homework: You will be assigned homework almost every night.  These homework assignments will be checked in person for completion and will be graded based on effort, work shown, and completeness.  Daily homework will be graded on a scale of 0-4.  Late assignments will not be accepted as they are reviewed at the beginning of each class. Students will also be expected to fully watch the video lessons on virtual instruction days. Watching these videos will count as an additional HW grade.

ABSENCES:

It is the responsibility of the student to show the teacher any missed homework assignments on the day they return, or the next day if it is just picked up.  All notes and videos of the lessons will be on Google Classroom. Students are expected to both watch the video and copy their notes and come see us if they have any questions.  All quizzes and tests must be made up on the day of return unless the student was absent more than one day.  In this case, see the teacher to determine an acceptable time frame to make up any missed work.

Field Trips:  When class is missed due to a field trip, it is the student’s responsibility to get the work missed prior to the field trip. The work will be checked for completion the first day returning to class.  If the work is not completed, it will be a zero.  

CELL PHONE USE:  

Unless otherwise stated, cell phone use is not permitted in class. There will be exceptions, for example, Kahoot!, Quizizz.com, asking students to check the portal for grades, using the phones as substitutes for provided iPads during group activities. Otherwise, cell phones will have a designated location to be collected, and returned at the end of the period. Violation of the policy will result in a behavior referral.  Please demonstrate respect!

EXTRA HELP:

We are available for extra help every single day until 2:30pm or during planning periods.  Please make plans ahead of time to ensure we are available.

eSCHOOL:

We will be updating the eSchool on a daily/weekly basis.  Please check often so you are aware of your overall average and any missing homework assignments.  

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:

If a student is involved in academic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, etc.), a zero will be given for that assignment. No make up assignment will be provided, and if there is an opportunity to drop a grade during the marking period, the above-mentioned zero will not be dropped. The next lowest grade will be dropped.  Please refer to the Frontier Central School District’s Code of Conduct, page 11, section G (1-5) for more detailed information.
