MISSING SCHOOL?-Umm, but we still have math learning happening...
When a scholar misses school, school is still in session for everyone and over an hour and 40 minutes of math class is missed for that absent scholar.

Absent scholars can re-connect with Ms. Coleman during Lunch or Extend time to figure out the missed assignments. Absent scholars can reach out to Ms. Coleman before or after classtime.
SYNERGY-Online Grade Program
Scholars & parents can read of special education/ELL techniques Ms. Coleman used for each class assignment. My math grades are updated approximately every week and a half. Most grades from assignments are based upon Math Content competency and/or Mathematical Practices. The math taught is at high school level.

QUIZZES & TESTS
Scholars can retake any of these, for a higher grade. Its best that Ms. Coleman be given prior notice so she can make sure she has new copies. Scholars are expected to use notes on tests. Quizzes are short (2-4 questions) and notes are not allowed to be used for quizzes. It is a common accommodation that Ms. Coleman helps scholars organize their notes, book and calculator before tests. Other accommodations that Ms. Coleman does are: read aloud instructions/questions, helping connect information in scholar's math notes and Ms. Coleman making more clear/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 Ms. Coleman in addition to writing math answers.

CLASS ASSIGNMENTS & HOMEWORK
All scholars are expected to finish assignments during classtime. Scholars will be given ample time to finish assignments during class. Class assignments are not homework. Separate homework aka home practice, is consistently encouraged by Ms. Coleman.

In order to continue passing math class, all scholars need to turn in high school level quality math thinking. 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. Scholars can get additional individual math help from Ms. Coleman during most Lunch & Extend times. In addition, OGHS offers free Saturday tutoring sessions and before school and after school help sessions in the library.

EXTRA CREDIT
Extra credit may be offered in the form of math vocabulary questions (spoken/verbal) and/or perhaps math warm ups. Math packets for extra credit are not offered.
