opportunity to teach your child
this year. If you need to contact
me, please do not hesitate. You
can reach me by phone during
my planning times listed below.
You can also reach me by e-mail.
It is my goal to return all phone
calls or e-mails before leaving
school for the day. However,
there are times when I must first
gather information before
returning your phone call or email.

Make-up Work
Most of the activities we do in
class will not be easy to do on an
individual basis. There is no
substitution for hearing material
first hand. Please avoid being
absent and schedule
appointments during after school
hours when possible. If students
must be absent from class, it is
their responsibility to pick up
missed assignments out of their
class period's file. Students will
have 5 school days after the
absence to turn in this missed
work.
If students miss a test or
quiz, they are responsible for
coming to me to schedule a
make-up time. Students will
No gum, candy, food, drinks, etc.
are allowed in class unless
permission is given by the
teacher. Students will be allowed
to carry their book bags this year.
Lockers were removed during
renovations this summer.

Materials:
Students are expected to have
the following items in class with
them each day:
-binder with notebook
paper/dividers
-math book
-pencil

Students will also receive a code
to access the online textbook.
Students will register for the
online textbook during one of
our first visits to the Math Lab.
Log in information will be sent
home at that time for parents.
