Welcome to the first full week of school! This week we'll be finishing up our first unit that introduces students to the Basics of Geometry. We will start the week by discussing how the coordinate plane connects to Geometry. We'll investigate the concepts of "midpoint" and "distance" and talk about how they connect to Geometry and the coordinate plane. We will also talk about the properties of polygons that will serve as a foundation for a lot of work that we will do throughout the course.
We will spend a day of class reviewing and preparing for our first summative assessment which will occur on the last class period of the week this week. I would like to take this time to remind students about the retake policy for this course.
Students must have all of their homework for the unit completed by the day of our summative assessment. You can view the homework schedule here. If all work is completed before the summative, students can be eligible for a test retake.
If a student takes the test and is not happy with the outcome, here are the steps that must be taken:
- The student will make an appointment with Mrs. Kamenar before school or during lunch to make corrections on the original assessment.
- Students will let Mrs. Kamenar which section or sections they would like to retake. Mrs. Kamenar will email the student with personalized extra practice to help prepare for the retake.
- Retakes must be completed within one week of receiving the results of the initial assessment.
Please note that the score of the retake assessment will be entered into Infinite Campus, even if the retake score is a lower score.
