LEARNING GOAL: The school goal focuses on critical thinking, targeting reading comprehension and written expression. As part of Lassiter High School's School Improvement Plan (SIP) and the Superintendent's Advanced Placement (AP) Certification initiatives, all students will participate in timed writing activities (based on content area reading passages) that will be scored using the College Board's Holistic Scoring Method for the new SAT.

TEXT: Prentice Hall: Algebra 2 with Trigonometry, copyrighted 2001. Cost $51.00


GRADING POLICY: Tests........................................................................... 50%
Quizzes....................................................................... 20%
Homework/Classwork................................................... 15%
FINAL EXAM............................................................... 15%


MATERIALS NEEDED:
§ You are expected to bring in your notebook with plenty of paper, textbook, pencil, and calculator with you every day. I recommend a graphing calculator (either TI-83 plus or TI-84 silver plus). You’ll use it even more in Algebra III.

ATTENDANCE AND MAKE-UP POLICY:.................................................................
A student who is present and actively participates is more likely to be successful; however, if a student is absent, he/she has one day for each day of excused absence to make up the work. (For example, a student absent 2 days would have 2 days to make-up the work.) Students are responsible for asking their teachers for the make-up work. A student with an unexcused absence may ask for assignments and may choose to complete them in order to keep up with the class; however, the teacher is under no obligation to grade the work. All tests should be made through me during given make-up times.


LATE WORK POLICY: Late work will result in a zero in the grade book.


TARDY POLICY:
See your handbook for information on tardies.
