This document provides information for Curriculum Night at a school. It introduces the teachers and provides details about the math curriculum, grading scale, tutoring procedures, discipline plan, and reward systems. The math curriculum covers standard and accelerated topics like data analysis, numbers, operations, algebra, decimals. Grades are calculated from exams, homework, classwork, quizzes, and tests. Tutoring is offered on Wednesdays before school and Mrs. Meddin's blog provides additional support. The discipline plan outlines consequences from warnings to administrative referrals. Positive student behavior is rewarded through referral tickets and special events.
