Most homework is worth 5 points and can be obtained by doing the following:

2. Copy problems when possible.
4. Done in PENCIL.
5. Complete and on time.
5/5 points = 100 % = A 4/5 points = 80% = B-
3/5 points = 60% = D- 2/5 points = 40% = F
1/5 points = 20 % = F
There will be assignments graded by performance - the number of problems you have missed. These assignments can be redone for a better grade.
Late Work: Late work with nice effort is worth 70%. Late work must be turned in within 1 week after chapter test, otherwise assignment will remain a zero.
Help!!! You can come in before or after school or during lunch. I am usually here at 7 a.m. and stay after until 4 – 4:30 p.m. It really doesn't hurt!!
Treat you with respect and care as an individual.
Provide you an orderly classroom environment.
Provide the necessary discipline.
Provide you the appropriate motivation.
Teach you the required content.

Weekly e-mails/Carle’s webpage
Shortly after the school year starts, I like to send weekly e-mails out to parents and students. This e-mail gives classroom information about the week and sometimes for the school, and I attach the homework schedule for the week. If you would like to be on this list, please include your e-mail below. You can also find the week’s schedule, last week’s schedule, grades, weekly e-mail message and more at my webpage on the Aberdeen’s Website at HYPERLINK "http://www.asd5.org" www.asd5.org. You must go to Miller Jr. High School, staff, and then Laura Carle.
Please sign and return the form at the bottom with your child. This is their first assignment, so please sign and return ASAP for points. (This paper will be handed back.) If you have any questions or concerns send a note, call at 538-2100, or visit me at the school from 7:00-7:50 a.m. or 2:40-4:00 p.m.
