Semester grade composition: Each trimester will count as 80% of the semester grade. The exam will count as 20% of the semester grade.

Late Assignments: There is no penalty for late/missing assignments; however, late work must be completed after school in the classroom with a math teacher.

Make-up work: The school policy for excused absences will be followed. When a student misses a day of school they have one day to make the work up. It will be the responsibility of the student to collect missed work. If a student collects their work in advance of an absence then it should be completed upon return to school.

Test/Quiz Retakes: Retakes are allowed once all homework related to the assessment is completed. The student will earn the better of the two scores.

Extra Credit: No extra credit assignments will be given.
