Welcome to the new school year and Algebra1. I am looking forward to working with you and your family and am anticipating a challenging, exciting and rewarding year for us all. This letter has some important information about the Algebra course that you are taking. However, because of the smaller class size, students receive greater teacher assistance, additional drill and adaptations in instruction and evaluation methods. Techniques will be utilized to provide for individual needs.
Students learn more with an integrated approach to mathematics.
Students are expected to be in class on time with the necessary materials. In accordance with Oakton High School Policy three unexcused tardies is an unexcused absence and three unexcused absences within a quarter will result in failure for the quarter. Arriving more than ten minutes late is considered an unexcused absence. Regular attendance is necessary for quality performance as there is a high correlation between good grades and good attendance. The County scale will be used.
