Grading Policy
Grades will be split into three categories
Homework/Daily Work - 15%
Quizzes - 25%
Tests - 60%
Extra Credit will be at the teachers discretion.
*Any work that does not show work or cant be
explained will not be given credit.
*Academic Dishonesty is not tolerated and will face
consequences according to RHS policy.
*Late work is discouraged so that students do not fall
behind. Mathematics builds day to day, and practice is
required to achieve mastery. Any work turned in late
will receive at most a 70% up until the unit test. After
that, the highest grade you can make will be a 50%.

Technology
Students will be encouraged to use technology in
the classroom when appropriate. They will be
used in accordance with the RHS BYOD policy.
Electronic devices are not allowed during
assessments or learning time.

Make up Work
*Students will be allowed to make up work for
the days they have missed. Students will receive
the numbers of days they missed plus one.
*It is the students responsibility to find out what
they missed. Work can be found in class or on
the class website (msheathrhs.weebly.com).
