** Any violation of these rights or the rights of others will result in an appropriate consequence. **
II. Violation of Rights
1st Offense - warning
2nd Offense - teacher detention and call to parents
3rd Offense - parent/teacher/student conference
4th Offense - conference with principal resulting in demerits
** Each occurrence is based on ONE student's actions, but may be accumulated by the entire class based on my discretion.
These offenses are tallied on a yearly basis.
III. Lateness/Absence
If you are not in your assigned seat at the sound of the bell, you are considered late to class. You will be marked
tardy each time you are late. Every three days late translates to an absence from class.
When you are absent, you are expected to complete all notes, classwork, and homework. Each day’s lesson is posted
on the class site each day by 3:30pm.
IV. Cutting Class
See school policy
V. Headphones and Cell Phones
Students are forbidden from having either of these items in class. The teacher will follow the school’s policy on each
of these items. Using an electronic device other than an approved calculator during a test, quiz, or exam will result in
a zero (0) grade for that assessment.
VI. Materials
The following items are required each day for this class:
Pencils and a good eraser
Three-ring binder with graph paper (NOT loose-leaf)
Scientific Calculator (or TI-84 recommended)
Covered textbook (NO book socks)
Protractor
Compass
Ruler (inches and centimeter)
100 – 4x6 lined index cards on a ring/shoelace etc.
Highlighter
VII. Student Progress
Student progress can be monitored through the Parent Portal of the Genesis Student Information System. This system will
enable you to access student grades and attendance online. This student information will be updated in a timely fashion
throughout the school year.
2. VII. Grading Policy
Each assignment is given a point value. At the end of each marking period, the number of points earned is divided
by the number of possible points earned to determine a percentage grade for the marking period, with a maximum of
100%.
1. WARMUPS
Every day you will complete a warm-up in your notebook. The warm-ups will be made up of problems like the ones
you've already seen.
2. HOMEWORK
Every night you will have a homework assignment. Homework will be checked for a grade! Homework is worth 50
points. Each student starts with 50 points – points are deducted when a student is not prepared.
3. NOTEBOOK
Each student is to have an organized notebook where homework, warm-ups, notes, classwork, tests, and quizzes can
be stored. It is important to keep your notebook organized and make corrections to the work in your notebook.
4. EXTRA CREDIT
Tests and quizzes will have extra credit at my discretion. Any E.C. given on a test or quiz will go directly on that
grade.
5. TESTS/QUIZZES
All tests will be announced. If you are absent and miss a quiz or test, you have until the next assessment to make it
up. If you miss another quiz or test, THE FIRST GRADE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME A ZERO (0)! It is
YOUR responsibility to make an appointment with Mr. Lomas to makeup any quizzes or tests. Makeups will be done
outside of class (ie. During study hall or after school)
6. NOTECARDS
Notecards will be collected on the day of each chapter test. Notecards are worth 10 points each time they are
collected. To earn full credit, you must have your notecards on a ring or shoelace. The ring should contain all the
chapters covered to that point. Each chapter should have a title card which contains the chapter number, chapter title,
and your name. Each item on the notecards should be highlighted. For each day that the notecards are late, you will
lose 1 point.
VIII. CHEATING
All students who turn in the same work as another student will receive a ZERO (0) for that assignment – no
questions asked!
IX. Additional Help
The class twitter account (@LomasGeom) is an excellent place to get extra help, especially on homework problems.
Links and each day’s posted lesson can be found on my MHS teacher page. I will be available Tuesdays after school
from 2:30 – 3:15, and by appointment.
