Integrated 3 Honors and Advanced Honors

 Course Description: Integrated 3 emphasizes polynomial, rational and exponential expressions, equations, functions, logarithms, coordinate geometry, circles, trigonometric functions, and statistics skills. Students build upon previous knowledge of equations and inequalities to reason, solve, and represent equations and inequalities numerically and graphically. The student will take the TNReady assessment which counts 15% of the second semester grade.

Grades:  Grades are determined by percentage (100%).  Assignments/Classwork/Homework will be 10% of the average and quizzes/tests/projects will make up the other 90% of the average.  Students are expected to check and keep up with their grades through Skyward.   If you cannot access Skyward, please let me know and I will print out your grades for you.  

1) You may retake any test or quiz to for a higher grade up to an 85%.  In some instances, there will be retakes available for full credit (100%). 

2) Remediation assignments must be completed with the teacher during PAT before retesting is allowed. Retesting must be completed in a timely manner.  Retakes will be in tutoring after school or PAT Tuesdays.

• 2-3 inch 3-ring Binder with Loose Leaf Paper
• Graph Paper
• Pencils (no Pens)
• Calculator TI84 (PLUS) ***This is the suggested calculator for this course because it can be

used for end of course testing and ACT testing.  ACT prohibits the use of All Texas      Instruments beginning with TI-89, TI-92, and TI-Nspire CAS (the TI-Nspire, non-CAS, IS permitted).

Absences and Tardies: If you have an excused absence, you are responsible for getting your missed work. Please check Schoology to find all makeup assignments and materials.  You will have ONE WEEK to complete your make up work without it being considered late work. If an assignment is more than 2 weeks late, there will be an alternate assignment available (Student must ask teacher for that assignment). 

If you are tardy to class, you must sign in on the tardy clipboard.  If you have a note for being tardy come into the room quietly and put the note on my desk

Communication:  Progress reports will be sent out mid-way through each quarter of the 9 weeks.  These will need to be signed and returned back to me for a daily grade.

Hall Passes:  Each student will be given 4 hall passes per a quarter.  If you think you may need extra hall passes, please have your parent write me a note letting me know that there are special circumstances.

Electronic Device Policy:  Students may be asked to use their cellphone or electronic device in class.  Even though I feel that electronic devices are a powerful tool for learning, some restrictions will apply in my classroom. 

1. Students are not permitted to use or have on the desk their electronic device unless instructed by the teacher.
2. Students are not  permitted to take pictures or videos of any person in class, including themselves. This is for the protection of all students.
3. Students may take pictures of academic related information and will be encouraged to do so.
4. Students are not permitted to send or read text messages, browse social media, read non-academic material, play games or browse non-academic material online.
