Grading:
Points will be assigned for homework assignments, quizzes, tests, projects, and group work. Points will vary for each of these items.

Grades will be assigned according to the points earned out of the total points possible.The following grade scale will be used:

A 93 - 100% C+ 78 - 79% D- 60 - 62%
A- 90 - 92% C 73 - 77% F Below 60%
B+ 88 - 89% C- 70 - 72%
B 83 - 87% D+ 68 - 69%
B- 80 - 82% D 63 - 67%

Late Work:
Assignments will not be accepted late, unless it is due to an excused absence. Every student is allowed 2 days of make-up for the first day missed, and one day for every day thereafter. If you are absent the day of a quiz or test, you will be expected to take the quiz/test the day you return to school. It is your responsibility to make up any work on a timely basis.

Extra Help:
If you need extra help, please come to my room before (7:45 - 8:10 a.m.) and after school (3:00 - 3:45 p.m.). Let me know ahead of time if possible, but never be afraid to ask for help.

Benchmarks:
You will be responsible for passing all benchmarks during the course. All benchmarks must be passed with 70% unless otherwise specified by the instructor. Individual students need to arrange times with the instructor for reteaching and retaking of any benchmarks. Any benchmark retakes must be taken in a timely manner, preferably within one week of the original benchmark.

Supplies Needed:
Notebook
Folder
Pencils with erasers
Large box of Kleenex
Calculator (TI-84 is recommended)

CALCULATORS:

If you are planning to purchase a calculator for high school, the West Delaware High School Math Department recommends purchasing a TI-84 Plus calculator. The TI-83 or TI-83 Plus calculators would be sufficient as well. These calculators will be used for all high school math course except Math Applications, and possibly some college courses.

Please be responsible for your calculator! Keep it locked in your locker! The library has an engraver that you may use to engrave your name on the cover of your calculator.

If you feel you are unable to purchase a graphing calculator you may talk with Mr. Nordass, H.S. Principal, about making arrangements to rent or loan a school calculator.

If you haven’t purchased a graphing calculator yet, please bring the calculator you used in middle school (TI-34) with you to class.
