Parents+and+FAQ

Parents and FAQs A: In order for you to be fully prepared for this class, you need:
 * Q: What do I need for this class?**
 * 1) A pencil( math SHOULD NOT be done in anything else)
 * 2) Paper
 * 3) A calculator, if you desire your own

A: No. The only time assignments will be accepted late is when a student is absent. Students have one day for every day they were absent to turn it in. Example: A student is absent on Wednesday and returns on Friday. The make-up work is as follows: The assignment that was due on Wednesday is due that Friday (it should have been ready to hand in Wednesday, if you had not been absent!). The assignment given on Wednesday (the day you were absent) is due Tuesday; otherwise the assignment will not be accepted!
 * Q: Is late work accepted?**

A: NO. If you are doing everything you are supposed to be doing, i.e. turning in your work on time, studying for tests, coming in for tutoring if you do not understand a concept, there is no need for extra-credit. My opinion is: Extra-credit becomes instead of credit-instead of doing what you are supposed to be doing, you want something else. NOT going to happen!
 * Q: IS there any extra-credit I can do to bring up my grade?**

A: No. This falls under the category of no late assignments accepted except for an excused absence.
 * Q: Please, please pleases can I turn this assignment that was due yesterday/last week/last month?**

A: No, not unless you missed the test with an excused absence and then within 5 days.
 * Q: Can I make up any test or anything else?**

A: Check the grades program. Assignments are posted and students are aware that assignments are due at the beginning of class. Check the attendance program. Verify that your student is indeed attending; he/she will benefit from notes given in class. Have your student come before school for additional help. You may also email me with your concerns: dtwitchell@graniteschools.org
 * Q: How can I help my student?**

A: Go to my web page http://twitchell.wikispaces.com You will find the daily notes there under the course heading.
 * Q: I was absent. How do I get the notes that I missed?**
