DID YOUR CHILD MISS MATH CLASS?
Unfortunately when a scholar misses my math class...at least an hour and 40 minutes of math class is missed for that absent scholar. We do a lot of math practice and notetaking in that hour and 40 minutes. But kiddos can re-connect with me during a couple of Lunches to figure out their missed math practice. Also absent scholars can ask me questions before my classtime or after my classtime.

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 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. The class takes turns reading aloud. Scholars can get additional individual math help from me during most Lunch times. In addition, OGHS offers free Saturday tutoring sessions and before school and after school help sessions in the library.
