Miss
Catalina – Room 604
http://schoolnotes.com Dear Students, Parents,
and Guardians, Welcome! Every student who enters our classroom has the
right to learn just as every teacher has the right to teach in an environment
that is safe, suitable to learning, and free from any distractions. In order
to maintain these rights, everyone should be aware of the responsibilities
and expectations designed to help you continue to be hard working and dedicated
students. By getting to know each student, I will help you discover your full
potential by providing a rigorous curriculum of the Math Standards. For those
students who master the core concepts easily, extra opportunities to have
“Fun with Numbers” will guide students to a deeper understanding of core
concepts as they relate to middle school math standards. These extra credit
options are only available once the Math 7 – 2 core standards are mastered. This
curriculum is based on the · Be on time! Bring all supplies each day.
Be in your seats and working when the bell rings! · Pay attention to the speaker and always
raise your hand before participating! · ASK QUESTIONS! There are NO dumb
questions! Without this mastery will not occur! · Be enthusiastic & cooperative and
respectful toward each other! Give your best effort! ABSENCES: All
work must be made up before returning to class. Math is sequential and
the EastLake Math Department does an excellent job in allocating the time
needed to master the concepts. Be diligent! If you know you will be absent, get your work ahead of time, or link
to www.schoolnotes.com. MAINTAIN GREAT BEHAVIOR! Disrupting
the class and disrespect to fellow human beings is not permitted. Remember,
your job is to learn middle school math so you can pass the high school exit
exam.

After reading the formula for a great classroom
experience,
the
student and parent or guardian must

Then please, cut carefully along the star studded
line, and
return the
slip TOMORROW
REMEMBER, Math 7 is the basic foundation
for the math on the CaHSEE.
I have listed the most common causes for
poor performance in Middle School math.
Avoid these pit falls at all cost.
You miss a lot of school due to an
illness. It is difficult to
impossible to make up work if you miss a series of lessons. Math moves fast
and each lesson builds on the one before. It is easy to loose track. If you
even miss one day you will get behind UNLESS you come to me and make up your
work.
Do not be absent, even for one day.
Or
You were too shy to raise your hand
when you don’t understand. You have
the right to understand every concept. The teacher won’t know you don’t
understand unless you say something! In Miss Catalina’s, laughing at
someone’s question is grounds for a parent conference. Making fun of someone
is called intimidation. It is against the law and not tolerated. So, feel
free to ask for clarity on any concept.
Do not laugh at anyone’s question or
answer.
Or
You are working on Character Development. You have the opportunity to modify classroom
behavior patterns to become a contributing member of our math community. Any
behaviors that contribute to your loss of class time due to referrals,
suspension, expulsion or worse, require immediate attention. You will be
asked to observe ALL school rules, in class and at ALL times. Do not second
guess this obligation.
Give
yourself a chance, expect success, and you will achieve!
Quality behavior results in quality work.
Keep this
syllabus in your notebook to remind yourself of our agreement.
My phone during school hours is (619) 591-4000.
Home (evenings) (619) 470-1116.
Thank you Very much,
Miss Catalina
Parents and Guardians: I have an open door policy. Feel free to stop by whenever you’d like! J
