Hi, everyone!  Are you ready for a new year of mathematics?

I welcome and encourage parent/guardian communication.  E-mail is the easiest way to reach me, or to arrange for a call-back.  I appreciate any e-mail addresses you may provide.

PLATO               Classroom Policy                MRS. APPLEBY            2012/2013

“If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life.” - Plato

PLATO is a computerized math program designed to ensure that all students are exposed to the math skills they will need for graduation and post-high-school life. The material is organized into modules (lessons), and students may test out of any modules for which they demonstrate competency.

__________________________________________________________________________________

GRADING:  Students will be graded each marking period on the number of modules completed and also on effort.  If you are not making progress, not asking for help will be considered a lack of effort.

ASK FOR HELP!  (I'm a math teacher - MAKE ME TEACH!)

COMPUTER BEHAVIOR:  Accessing sites other than PLATO will result in ISS.  Damage or changes to equipment will result in fine reports to cover the damage and/or detention or ISS. 

TARDIES:  Three (or additional) tardies will result in after-school detention.   

DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR:  Talking is not permitted  because testing is on-going.  Raise your hand for help or questions.  Disruptive behavior will result in a warning and student conference, followed by a call to parent/guardian if necessary.  Repeated disruptive behavior will result in after-school detention and referral to the office.

DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR/INSUBORDINATION:  will be referred to the office.  School Policy says:

 I look forward to your success.
