The policies below reflect a vision of minimal requirements for succeeding in math class. Of course, those students who excel in math meet, and often exceed these standards. Lateness to class, excessive talking, lack of focus, and poor homework are the usual causes of low grades in any class. Students who have poor basic skills should take advantage of the extra help classes that are offered every MON, TUES, and THURS from 2:30-3:30
