Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year. My name is Mrs. Mago. I teach Intensive Mathematics for 7th and Grade 8th.
Grade 7th Intensive Mathematics will focus on helping students to become proficient on Basic Mathematics Operations which are the foundation to be successful on their core Math class. This class will provide an environment that engages and motivates the student to do their best and accomplish their learning goals. It will focus on number systems, ratio and proportion, geometry and measurement, data analysis and probability.
Grade 8th Intensive Math will help students master Basic Mathematics Operations to help them with the understanding of the material in their core Math classes. This class will provide an environment that engages and motivates the students to try their best. The course will focus on rational numbers, exponents and roots, proportionality and measurement, principles of algebra, graphs and functions, geometry and measurement.
The syllabus contains valuable information that will make this school year a successful one for the student with the parent/ guardian support at home. Please take the time to go through it. You may also find the syllabus and other valuable course information in the teacher’s website http://ymago.weebly.com/ .
Tutoring will be available starting September 16 for students needing extra help. Please look for upcoming information.
Please feel free to contact me throughout the school year with questions or concerns you may have at [email protected] . I look forward to an exciting and successful school year.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mago

All students absent from class (unexcused or excused) are responsible for getting any missed assignments or notes.
Unexcused Absence
In the event of an unexcused absence, any missed assignments or exams will receive a "Z" as the academic grade.

In the event of an excused absence, a student has 3 days to make-up any missed assignments or exams. After three days, the assignment or exam will remain as a "Z".

Academic Honesty
You are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic conduct. When you cheat, you are robbing yourself of knowledge, the learning experience and my company. I will be holding you to high ethical standards to which you will be expected to maintain at all times.
You are guilty of cheating whenever you present work as your own and you did not do. You are also guilty of cheating if you help someone else to cheat. Any student(s) who is discovered cheating will receive a “0” for that assignment and have the work documented in their portfolio. A referral may be issued based on the assignment.
