Math 10 Classroom Policies & Expectations

Attendance
Please note that regular attendance is crucial for success.
If you are absent, it is your responsibility to make sure your
parents/guardians phone the school or provide you with a note.
For any absences, it is the students responsibility to make up any missed
work. Check the class website and the What Did I Miss? folder.
Always be prepared to make up a missed test or assignment the very next
class , assuming the absence is legitimate and a note is supplied.
Punctuality
Each class starts with a 5 minute Skill Builder. You need to be on time to
complete the Skill Builders.
If you are late, sign in on the Late Log with the time of your arrival and
reason for being late.
On your third late, you will need to phone your parents/guardians to explain
why you are developing a habit of being late.
On your fifth late, you will receive an office referral.
Cell Phones/ Electronics
Be responsible with your electronics. I should never see a cell phone
during the lesson. If your parents need to get a hold of you in case of an
emergency, they can call the office.
iPods are fine during individual work time, but if they become a distraction or
they get in the way of your success, I will not allow them in class.
Homework & Test Rewrites
Assignments need to be completed on a regular basis to ensure your success.
All assignments must be completed and checked off by Ms. Lindroos. If you do
not have all assignments completed, you will not be permitted a rewrite.
Students must submit a rewrite application, signed by parents/guardians,
which documents review activities.
The score of the rewrite will be entered into the grade book.
Extra Help
I am available for extra help or assignment
make-ups Wednesdays at lunch or Thursdays
after school
Free tutoring is available Tuesdays after
school in B124
Peer tutoring is available in Study Hall after
school three times a week in the library. You
