Welcome to Algebra One!

The success of any mathematics student is directly related to the hard work and dedication of all parties involved: student, parent, and teacher. As a teacher, I pledge to work hard to help you succeed in mathematics. You can count on me to have high standards and expectations in terms of homework and student performance. I strive to be ever available and willing to give you the extra help you may need before or after school when necessary.

The most important factors in your success in math are your hard-work ethic and your attendance. Never be absent unless it is absolutely necessary. Be diligent in doing your homework. Doing assignments faithfully to the best of your ability, paying careful attention in class, and asking questions as well as seeking extra help when necessary, prepares you for the upcoming tests. Always bring your book, notebook, paper, pencil, and calculator to class everyday.


SUPPLIES NEEDED:
Three Ring Binder
Loose leaf notebook paper
5 Divider Tabs
Pencils ---- All work must be done in pencil!
1 Pen for grading
Calculator (TI30XIIS)

Classroom Rules:
1. Come to class prepared to learn everyday.
2. Keep hands, feet, books, and objects to yourself.
3. Respect ALL property.
4. Be kind and respect each other. No swearing, rude gestures, teasing, or put downs.
5. Follow my directions the first time.
6. Do your very best!

I will be available throughout the year for phone calls or conferences. My daily conference time is 3rd hour (9:55 - 10:45). Feel free to contact me through the high school office during this time.

Let's have a great beginning to a successful and productive school year!
