McCJHS Math Department Rules

All work must be done in pencil.
All work must be shown: No work = No credit.  
Late work is not accepted.  It is due even if gone for extracurricular activities.
Projects: If it is late there will be a 10-point deduction per school day until a grade of 50.  After that, the grade will be a zero.  Projects are due within a one-week window, therefore it is due on Monday, but accepted until that Friday.  Missing school on a Friday does not excuse the student from the 10-point penalty.  They could have turned it in earlier that week.
Tests are not returned to students.  Parents will be able to view test corrections that are sent home with the student.  If a parent wishes to see a test, email the teacher and call the counseling center to arrange a meeting.
Test retakes may be given at the discretion of the teacher if the student makes lower than a 70.  Students may retake only one math test each nine weeks.  The highest grade that a student can make on a retake is a 70.  It is the student's responibility to initiate this process with his/her teacher and schedule a time to come in before school.
In the Math Department, semester reviews will not count as a grade.  No points from the reviews will be added to the final exams.
Grading for each Nine Weeks for all levels of math:
  • 60% Major Grades (tests, projects)
  • 20% Daily Grades (classwork, homework)
  • 20% Quizzes & Labs
Grading for each Semester:
7th Grade Math and 7th/8th Grade Pre-Algebra
  • 45% First Nine Weeks
  • 45% Second Nine Weeks

Math Department Policy on Cheating

Any type of unauthorized communication or sharing of information or materials with others (verbal, nonverbal, or written) is considered cheating. (McCJHS Student Handbook)

While it is impossible to list each and every action that may constitute “cheating,” the following are common examples:
  • Copying another student’s homework, quiz, or test.
  • Letting someone else copy your work.
  • Using “cheat sheets,” textbooks, any type of electronic device, or writing answers on any part of the body or garments during a test or quiz.
  • Using a workbook or test (which has answers in it) from a previous year.
  • Telling another student in a different class period what the test or quiz questions are or getting such information from someone else.
  • Working with others on an assignment or project if your teacher assigned it as independent work.
  • Graphing calculators will be cleared before quizzes and tests.
