Late Work- Practice Problems:
Late work is highly discouraged. Completing practice problems in a timely manner allows for immediate practice
following a lesson and leads to greater success in the classroom and on exams. However, practice problems can
be checked up to 1 week after the initial due date. After this due date, the work will not be accepted.
Binders
As per school requirements, each student should have a 3 inch binder in which they keep all their work for their classes.
Students will keep their notebook for Algebra 1 in this binder and binders will be checked every Thursday using a
rubric. However an additional individual portfolio will be kept in the room where all outputs in the class will be placed.
Extra Help The Math Table: Students can receive additional learning support from me at BHS based on a scheduled
availability during lunch in the cafeteria at The Math Table. Students can eat lunch, sit with their peers, and teachers,
and work collaboratively to master skills and problem solving and or take opportunity for consultation on the projects
on progress. Please note that the availability of teachers may change unexpectedly due to unforeseen circumstances.
Should a change or cancellation occur, an announcement will be made in classes of over the intercom.
