MIDTERMS

Today we will finish up midterms in class. If you are absent it is up to you to schedule a time to come in and make them up. Please keep in mind that I will be proctoring and grading regents exams and will only be available if prior arrangements are made.

January 20th 2020

Students please remember how the grading policy works

40% tests
30% quizzes
20% HW
10% Notebook/Binder

Midterms start on Friday, they will cover the material learned to date in each of the courses.

Students please remember that you are responsible for making up missed work when you are out. This includes tests and quizzes which must be made up in a timely fashion when you have time (ie. advisement, studyhall, after-school). If no attempt is made to schedule a time I will enter a zero in the gradebook.
