Course description

Math 3 Heading.jpg is an integrated math curriculum that was adopted by the state of North Carolina. This course will provide students with an understanding of the topics covered in Math 2. We will be using the MVP curriculum. MVP is an open-source high school mathematics curriculum written by and for teachers. MVP was created to address the mathematical shifts of Focus, Coherence, and Rigor, as well as address the future needs of students competing in a global community. Students will be working with geometric transformations, similarity and congruence, trigonometry, quadratic functions, exponential functions, and probability.

PowerSchool

It is the responsibility of the student to check PowerSchool regularly and to monitor student's grades. Grades will be updated weekly.

Attendance During Remote Learning

Attendance will be taken daily, even when we are doing remote instruction. A student is considered present for a remote learning day IF:

- They complete their Daily Assignments, either online or offline, and/or a student is present for "live" instruction.
- They have a Daily Check-in, a two-way communication with their teacher.

Make-up work and Absences

After an absence or a missed assignment, it is the responsibility of the student to get the missed notes and complete any missed assignments. If you are absent from class, you are required to make up ALL work including homework, quizzes, tests, and projects. If you miss test review day (day before the test), know that you will take the test on test day. During the Semester, some Unit Tests will have a specific date and others will have a specific date range.

Per WCPSS policy, if the make-up work has not been assigned in advance, for absences of one (1) to three (3) days, the student will have one day for each day absent to complete all missing work. For absences exceeding (3) days, the student may have two days for each day absent to make up work.

Notifying the teacher PRIOR to a student being absent from class is the responsibility of the student! Any work that is due the day of a student's absence will need to be completed prior to the absence unless an alternative agreement has been made with the teacher. If the absence is a school trip, prior notice needs to be given to the teacher before the absence so that work can be given ahead of time.

Grades 6-12:

Teachers will log attendance in PowerSchool. Attendance will be submitted daily for each period.

Teachers should have a record of which students attend each live instruction opportunity.
Teachers also have the option to have students log into a Google form which will provide a time stamp each day when in live instruction or submit assignments for daily attendance to be taken.
For students who have not logged into the Google form each day, schools will follow existing processes for students with 3 consecutive absences.
If students are unable to log in and/or submit a required assignment within the assigned time frame, and a staff member makes 3 attempts to reach the student, the student will then be counted absent. This will occur after the 3-day window.

Academic integrity

In accordance with Wake County Board of Education Policy 6445 regarding academic integrity, a student who knowingly engages in or attempts to engage in cheating, plagiarism, or falsification of school-related assignments and/or documents shall be subject to disciplinary action as outlined by Sanderson High School’s academic integrity standards. Students are encouraged to review and practice these standards. If a student is found to be in violation, he/she will receive a zero for the assignment and an alternate assignment will be assigned.

Academic recovery process

In order to give each student, the best possible learning experience, it is imperative that all parties (students, parents, and teachers) are held accountable for success or failure in the classroom. We understand that a student may struggle to master some concepts in a timely manner. Therefore, our Academic Recovery Process is accessible to all students and offered when:

the student is attending class on a regular basis
the student has given sufficient first effort on assignments

the student completes recovery in a timely manner

Quiz Recovery: Students are given the opportunity to replace their lowest quiz grade in a unit, provided it is at least a 50%, with their unit test grade. If a quiz grade is below a 50% and the student passes the unit test, the quiz grade will be replaced with a 60% (passing). The quiz recovery grade cap may be removed if the student meets requirements by the teacher which may include but are not limited to participation in office hours and module recovery assignments.

*Test Recovery: After a unit test, students will have one week to demonstrate mastery of the content. Upon completion of a recovery assignment, the original test grade may be recovered up to a 70%. To demonstrate mastery, students will complete recovery modules.
