Updated 08/19/2010

        Hi, I am Carrie Jones, and I am looking forward to teaching each and every one of your children this year. Below is a copy of my syllabus. Please call me anytime with questions or concerns about your child. I am a mom of three and will try to treat your child as if he/she were my own. I teach because I love people, kids especially. They are our future. Thanks in advance for sharing your child with me and entrusting them to my care. I will do my best to teach them everything they need to know!!

        Parents of Algebra II students: please purchase your child a TI 83 or TI84 graphing calculator!! All high school math students will need one. 

        All Parents: Please check VSI weekly to keep abreast of your child’s progress.

                              Expect a Progress report/report card each 3 weeks.

2.          Be Prompt –

Be in your desk when the bell rings to start and end class (without running). Do not get up while I am talking.

3.          Be Productive –

Work quietly. Take notes. Be productive during group work by avoiding unnecessary talking.

4.         Be Polite –

Refrain from inappropriate language, throwing, and sleeping. Follow handbook rules concerning food and drink, electronic devices, and dress code.

Consequences:

Students who misbehave will be asked to sign a referral for their first infraction. The second infraction will result in a parent being called and signing the referral a second time. The third time a student misbehaves he/she will be sent to the office. This is a campus wide policy. I will not loan calculators. If you don’t bring one, you will have to do without even if it is a test.

Homework:

Honors-Homework will be 1/4 of a student’s average. Regular- Homework will be 1/3 of a student’s average. Some work will be due at the end of class.  Some will be due for homework the next class day unless otherwise informed. No late work will be accepted.  I will drop one or two daily grades instead. Homework heading should look like this:

Name (5 pts.)                                                                          Date (5 Pts.)

                                                                Assignment (5 Pts.)

                                                (If late or makeup, write it here)

Tests:

Honors-Tests will count 3/4 of a student’s average. Regular-Tests will count 2/3 of a student’s average. Retests will not be given. Corrections may sometimes be offered to earn back 25% of points lost. Corrections are to be done during tutorials before and after school. They must be done on a clean piece of paper, show work, and work must be correct. You have 1 week to correct tests.

Makeup Work:

If you have been absent, have your blue slip when you enter class. Work and tests assigned before an absence will be due the date the student returns.  Any work missed can be made up in +3 days (example: 1 class day missed = 3 days to makeup, 4 class days missed = 7 days to makeup.) It is your responsibility to find out what work you missed and make in up in the time given. Check online for missed assignments.

Tardies:

An unexcused tardy (no note) will be turned into the office. The first two tardies will be warnings by the teacher. Third tardy is a referral and 1 day d hall, etc. See campus wide policy.

Cheating:

See campus wide policy.
