Welcome to Ms. Zaruba’s
Math Class
2015-2016
I will treat your child like I treat my own 2 kids.

High expectations
Effort is non-negotiable
Accountability
Do things right – do the right thing
Love & Consequences
Every day is a new day – 2nd chances
Textbooks & Resources:
• Textbooks this year are consumable.
• If your child loses it, you will need to
print off homework assignments from
online resource or pay $95 to replace it.
• Additional video instruction:
www.khanacademy.com
www.virtualnerd.com
Homework:
• I will assign homework on a regular basis & expect it to be completed.
Homework will not receive a grade in the gradebook, but will still be
recorded in the gradebook if not completed (MSG). If completed, it will be
listed as a “1” but not factored into student’s average.
• Pre/reteaching videos will be on Edmodo nightly. I will also post answers for
nightly homework so students can ask for help if they don’t understand how
to get a correct answer. Every night, your student should log into Edmodo to
check their homework for accuracy. It is the responsibility of the student to
seek help if they do not understand how to do a problem.
• Students are required to show their work in their math journal, not in the
textbook. Homework without shown work will be recorded as missing in the
gradebook.
Minor Summatives:
•
Students may not reassess minor summatives (quizzes, exit
tickets, Plickers, etc). All homework quizzes come directly
from the homework that week so there is no reason a
student should do poorly on any Homework Quiz if they have
done the homework, checked the answers on Edmodo, and
attended tutoring.
•
Minor summative scores can only be changed by
demonstration of mastery of standards through major
summatives.
•
Example: If your student does poorly on the Homework Quiz
but demonstrates mastery of the concept on the major
summative (common assessment), the grade for the minor
summative for that standard will then be changed.
Major Summatives:
•
Students may reassess major summatives (common
assessments) if they have completed the necessary steps
required for reassessment.
•
Students who score below 70 will be required to reassessed
& will have 10 days to correct the test, complete any missing
homework, attend tutoring &/or complete the Additional
Remediation Assignment, and come before/afterschool for
reassessment.
•
Student who score above 70 may request reassessment &
have 10 days to complete the above requirements.
•
Reassessment days are Wed from 3:30-4:30 pm or Fri from
7:45-8:15 am.
www.Edmodo.com
Each Student login gets
one Parent login code.
Students & parents can join
Edmodo to look at notes, assignments, homework
answers, pre/reteaching videos, etc.
Edmodo is used quite a bit in 7th grade, so make it a
part of your regular 7th grade daily routine.
Parent Connection:
Every parent should login to HAC. You will
automatically receive an email if your student is
missing an assignment or scores below a 70.
Students should also login to HAC on a regular
basis to monitor grades and keep up with
assignments.
