Policies and Procedures

Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed your summer vacation! With your help, we can make this a great year!

It is my goal to help each student understand mathematics more completely and to help each student develop stronger problem-solving skills. I hope you will enjoy mathematics this year and beyond.

I know that each student can succeed in mathematics. It may be more difficult for some students and take some students more effort, but it will be all the more rewarding for these students once success is achieved.

Expectations
Each student is expected to come to class ready to learn with a positive attitude. Attitude is everything! Each student is also expected to be prepared each day with textbook, math folder, pencil, and completed homework assignment. Each student is expected to follow the Marlington High School Code of Conduct as well as the following classroom rules:
