8th Grade Math
Dear Parents and Students,
I hope your summer was great and you are ready to get back to learning! I wanted to let you know a little bit about what to expect in our Math Class.
With every lesson that is taught there will be an assignment. If you work during your homework time and activity period each day, then you should have most, if not all of your assignment finished before you go home for the day! The assignment is to help you practice on what you have learned. If you miss a day of school, you have one additional day for each day of class missed to turn in all assigned makeup work.
There will be a test at the end of each Module. Keeping up with assignments will help you be prepared for the tests that follow.
The following is the break down for grading:
Daily Work/Activities 50%
Tests 50%
____________________________
Total 100%
Students may correct daily work and earn back half of the points missed if corrections are done correctly. Corrections must be turned in one week after they are returned to the student. Please do corrections on a separate sheet of paper with all work shown. Staple it to the original paper.
Tests can be corrected for up to 10 points added to the original grade. If students originally made a 90 or above, they can earn half the credit back. If a student needs more than 10 points, then they are allowed to retake the test. Please do corrections on a separate sheet of paper with all work shown.
I have high expectations for all of my students’ behavior. Please Respect yourself and Respect others. Please feel free to contact me at school (254)657-2224 or ktaisler@hollandisd.org
