  24. Success = Hard work on the part of teachers, students, and parents.

  25. ROAR Students are expected to show respect, take ownership, achieve, and be responsible. What this looks like in the classroom will be reinforced throughout the year. This should help assure all students have an opportunity to excel.

  26. The step from elementary school to middle school is HUGE – allow time for students to adjust to their new way of life.

  27. Math class is every other day, but has content rich 90-minute blocks. Students should plan to attend everyday to maximize instruction and learning.

  28. The students should record important dates in their agenda. Classwork and homework assignments will be posted on my web page on the L.C.P.S site.

  29. Testing Policy Grade BreakdownSummative Assessments 100%Retake Policy:If students get an A, B, or C on a summative assessment, they do not have to retake it. If they get a D or F on a summative assessment, they must retake it.

  30. Formative Assessments • Formative assessments are assessments FOR learning. These assessments take place on a frequent basis in order to help guide learning. They are graded on the following scale: Advanced Proficient (4), Proficient (3), Intermediate (2), and Beginner (1).

  31. IXL Homework • Assigned each class • See homework and pacing guide on calendar on webpage. • Goal: Smart Score 70-100 and 60 min. minimum usage per week. When students have completed assigned skills, they can work ahead, work on skills of interest to them at or above grade level, or work on skills giving them difficult. • Skills should be completed as assigned, and before date of assessment covering skills.

  32. Math 6 Math 6/7 If you receive an A, B, or C, you may retake the assessment. If you receive a D or F, it is mandatory to retake the assessment. Summative Assessment Grade: ___Steps to Retake Reteach A time is scheduled to meet with you to reteach the material. Achieving Mastery Practice IXL skills below (Goal: 70-100 Smart Score): Attach the final Smart Score sheets(s) to your assessment. Retake Assessment May include the following: Authentic Assessment, Student-Teacher Created, Technology Based, Paper/Pencil. NewAssessment Grade: ___ Please note, all steps should be completed within 2 weeks of return of the original assessment .

  33. Use this website: www.glencoe.com It is a free math website that coincides with our textbook. The online access code has been provided in class.

  34. E – Mail Chain • Please leave your name, your child’s full name, and your e-mail address if you would like to be included on our math class e-mail communication link. Test reminders and other study tips will often be sent this way. If you have already received e-mails from me, I have your e-mail address!
