Course Description
This course follows the Utica High School Math 2 curriculum, which is modeled
after the Algebra I and Algebra II Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for
Mathematics outlined by the State of Ohio.
Grading Policy
Your grade in this course highly depends on your attendance and participation.
If you come to class prepared, ready to work, and with an open mind, then I have
no doubt that your grade will reflect your hard work and dedication to class.
Each student’s 9-week grade will be determined by the following criteria:
*Homework/Notebook Checks....15%
*Quizzes ………………………………….. 25%
* Tests/Projects ……………..……..….60%
Grading Scale
90 – 100 = A
80 – 89 = B
70 – 79 = C
60 – 69 = D
0 – 59 = F

Electronics Policy
Cell phones and headphones are not to be out at any time during class.
Consequences:
1st Offense: Phone put in “Cell Phone Jail” for approximately 1 class pd.
2nd Offense: “Cell Phone Jail” and Lunch Detention
3rd Offense: Referral to the office for discipline
IPads are only to be used when specified by the teacher.
Class Procedures





Homework: Make sure your name, the date, and the class period are on all
assignments. Have your homework out and ready to turn in at the beginning of
class. All homework is due the day after it is assigned unless specified otherwise.
Hall passes: Students will be given 3 passes per quarter to be used for the
restroom, locker, or library. All student must sign in and out when leaving the
classroom or arriving late. Students may not leave without a pass
Class time
o Warm-ups are to be completed immediately
o Homework is out on your desk at the start of the period
o Phones, headphones, and iPads are put away when the bell rings
o Take notes
o Participate
Notebooks: Every student must have a 3-ring binder with paper and dividers in
it. The binder should be divided into sections: Warm-ups, Notes, Graded Papers
Late assignments: Assignments may be turned in late but will receive no higher
than a 70%. All late work must be turned in one week before the end of the
grading quarter.
Attendance


Tardies: Students are expected to arrive on time for class every day. If you
arrive after the bell rings, you must sign in and you will be marked late. In one
grading period:
o 3 tardies = lunch detention
o 4 tardies = Wednesday detention
o 5 tardies = referral to the office for a Saturday school detention, in-school
suspension, or suspension.
Absences: It is each student’s responsibility to arrange for and to complete
necessary work that was missed due to an absence. Assignments missed can be
found in the absent bin. Students are responsible to copy missed notes from a
classmate.
o An unexcused absence on a test or project day will result in a late grade.
Homework Policy



Homework assignments will be collected, at the teacher’s discretion, for a grade
and a record will be kept as to whether students are completing each
assignment.
If a homework assignment is given, then completion of the assignment is
expected and required.
Homework questions should be considered practice quiz/test questions, and so
all assignments should be done in pencil with all work shown.
Retesting Policy


Students are able to retest for any chapter test given after the student has
completed the necessary remediation. This includes, but is not limited to:
o All homework assignments must be completed
o Any questions on the test must be corrected on a separate sheet of paper
and turned in with the original test.
o After School Intervention (by teacher discretion)
Retakes must be scheduled with Mrs. Grant. All retakes must be completed one
week after the original test has been handed back to students.
Cheating

Cheating includes: plagiarism, copying someone else's work, allowing someone
to copy your work, copying answers from the internet, unauthorized help on a
quiz or test, and/or copying answers from the back of the book.
o 1st offense: receives a zero on the assignment, quiz, or test; and a lunch
detention.
o 2nd offense: will be reported to the office and disciplinary action will take
place.
Denial of Credit Policy

Full-year course: Any student who accumulates more than sixteen (16) incidents
per class of non-professional absences in a year-long course, excused or
unexcused, will receive a zero (0) for that class period, for that day, and every
day in excess of the sixteen (16) days.
