DID YOUR CHILD MISS MATH CLASS?
When a scholar misses my math class...at least an hour and 40 minutes of math practice is missed. But kiddos can re-connect with me during a couple of lunches to figure out their missed math practice and independently practice at home. Scholars can ask me questions before classtime or after classtime.

SYNERGY-Online Grade Program
Scholars & parents can read of special education/ELL techniques that I used for each class assignment. The math topics taught is at high school level, in accordance with the California Department of Education. The modifications and accommodations in my classes (SAI & Co-Taught) are in accordance to IDEA & IEPs.

QUIZZES & TESTS
Scholars can retake these, for a higher grade. Its best that I be given prior notice so I can be prepared. Scholars are expected to use thier math notes on tests. Quizzes are usually short (2-4 questions) and notes are not allowed to be used for quizzes. It is a common accommodation that I help scholars organize their notes, book and calculator before tests. Other accommodations that I do are, when a scholar allows me to: read aloud instructions/questions, I help connect information in scholar's math notes and I re-wording math questions on math tests/quizzes and assignments. In some instances dependent upon ability, scholars show their math knowledge/thinking by explaining answers to me in addition to writing math answers. Some scholars may opt to write thier answers on large whiteboards rather than pen & paper.

In order to continue passing math class, all scholars need to turn in high school level quality math thinking on thier assignments. If a scholar is absent, it is okay to turn in late assignments without a penalty to the grade.
ACADEMIC BOOSTS & Academic Interventions
During class practice scholars will mostly work in squads to bounce their math thinking off of other people. Thinking the math out loud, helps long-term memory. The class takes turns reading sentences, aloud. Scholars can get additional individual math help from afterschool tutoring in the library. In addition, OGHS offers free Saturday tutoring sessions.
