A note on homework . . .
Homework is an integral part of Geometry. I do not check every assignment, but I expect all to be done completely and on time. If you are absent the day homework is assigned or due, it is your responsibility to get the assignment and show me any completed work.

Class Expectations:

  • You are expected to be in your seat and writing when the tardy bell rings. If you aren't, and you do not have a note, then you will be charged with an unexcused tardy. Three unexcused tardies equal one unexcused absence, five unexcused absences equal loss of credit for the course.
  • You should have a pencil, paper, your assignment book, textbook, graphing calculator, and math three ring binder with you every day in class. Come to class prepared.
  • Unless it is a real emergency, you will not be allowed to leave the room during class. Make sure you use the bathroom and get your materials before the tardy bell rings.
  • If you are absent, you need to call a buddy from your math class and ask them for the assignment. You should have phone numbers for at least three people in your class.
  • There will be no food or drinks in class.
  • Calculators are to be used for math purposes only. Any teacher has the right to reset them or confiscate them if they are being used inappropriately.
  • If you are absent the day before a test, you will still take the test on the assigned day. If you are absent on test day, you will take it the day you get back.
