2014-2015 Algebra 1-2 Lab Plan for Success
Course Codes:5307000,5307008
Course Description: This course is a supplement to Algebra 1-2.
Students in the Algebra 1-2 Lab are also enrolled in a regular Algebra
1-2 class (with a different teacher). Students will earn their math
credit in their regular Algebra 1-2 class and will earn an elective
credit for the Algebra 1-2 Lab. Lessons and activities for the Algebra
1-2 Lab are designed to help the students better understand the
Algebra 1-2 concepts and, as a result, improve their performance in
the Algebra 1-2 class. Lessons and activities in Algebra Lab are
aligned to the Arizona State Common Core Standards for Mathematics and
the district’s Algebra 1-2 curriculum.
Materials Required: For this class you will need a pencil, Student
Planner, and an individual binder.
Grading System:
Each 9 weeks: Semester Grade:
Assessments 30% 1st Term: 50%
Classwork/Assignments 50% 2nd Term: 50%

Note: Students who do not meet the standards in their Algebra 1-2
class are still able to earn elective credit in this Algebra Lab
class, provided they earn at least a 70% in this course.
Attendance Policy: It is extremely important to attend school every
day. Attendance can strongly affect your grade. When you are in class
daily you will comprehend the material more thoroughly and see the
interconnections between various topics. Please plan on attending
school every day.
Having good attendance is one of the best ways to succeed in this
class. The Phoenix Union High School District believes that daily
participation in classroom instructional activities is essential to
earning credit for every course. Students may fail the class for the
semester in any course when reaching a total of 12 excused/unexcused
absences and after school documented interventions have been
exhausted.
“Absent” is defined as nonattendance in an assigned class or activity
for more than half the period. (PUHSD Governing Board Policy J-1561
JHR).
Tardy Policy: Being prompt is the key to success in life, work and
school. Students will be in their designated classrooms when the final
bell rings. District, school and teacher tardy policies are in effect.
Students are expected to arrive in class on time. As a result of being
tardy, participation points may be lost, including but not limited to
bell work, class quizzes, etc. If a student receives 5 tardies in a
quarter (9 week period), he or she may also receive a detention.
“Tardy” is defined as not being in the assigned class or activity when
the tardy bell has finished ringing. (PUHSD Governing Board Policy
J-1561 JHR)
Make-Up Policy: If you are absent you will be allowed to make up most
of your work. Some work cannot be made up; this includes student
engagement, class work, bell work, participation, etc. Missing
assignments need to be completed in a timely manner. You will get 1
day for each day absent to make up your work. For example: If you are
absent for five school days, then you will have five school days to
make up the work. Make-up work can be completed during KKIS time. KKIS
is available immediately after school from 2:40-3:30. Please make
proper arrangements to attend KKIS after school if you have missing
assignments.
Grade Reports: Progress reports will be sent via US mail every 3
weeks. Parents and students can also access ParentVue or StudentVue at
any time to check student progress.
Academic and Attendance Interventions. When a student is absent 5
times an attendance card will be mailed home. At 8 absences a letter
will be sent home and a phone call will be made stating that the child
is in danger of failing. At 12 absences a student may lose credit.
Students that are in danger of failing will be assigned KKIS or
Saturday School.
Parent Assistance: Parents may contact the teacher at any time via
email (preferred) or voicemail to share any concerns. Parents will be
contacted if their student is in danger of failing or if the student
has excessive tardies/absences. Appointments can be made through the
student’s counselor if an in-person meeting is necessary.
Title 1 Program: Academic tutoring and test preparation is available
to all students. Additional support for passing classes and graduating
on time is the intent of these services. Support through Title I
funding is available in the areas of: Math, Reading and English. If
interested, please contact the Principal Dr. Gabriel Trujillo, or
Assistant Principal for Instruction Ms. Stephanie Streeter for
additional information at (602)764-8517.
Discipline Policy: The Trevor Browne Student Incident Report will be
used in the classroom. Each time a student is disruptive to the
learning environment it will be recorded in the student incident
report. When a student has reached three infractions parents will be
notified. When a student has reached five infractions a referral will
be written.
ID Policy: All students are expected to wear their IDs in their
lanyards at all times. IDs are required to access many school
services. Students who violate this expectation may be subject to
disciplinary action.
Dress Code Policy: The Trevor Browne High School Community will wear
appropriate clothing that is clean, modest, and not disruptive to the
educational program. If a student is in violation of the dress code
they will be asked to change. Excessive violations may result in
further disciplinary action. Items of attire with obscene words, or
inappropriate slogans/graphics may NOT be worn. Immodest or indecent
attire is not acceptable and footwear must be worn. Household slippers
are not appropriate. Immodest includes bare shoulders, and extremely
tight or baggy clothing. Examples: tube tops, halter tops, see-through
tops, bare midriff tops, backless tops or tops with spaghetti straps.
Clothes will cover midriff, cleavage, buttocks and under garments.
Headgear such as hair nets or other hair coverings, including
bandanas, do rags, and sweat bands are not appropriate. Hats are ok
outside. Skirts, shorts, or dresses cannot be shorter than the end of
the fingertips. All pants, shorts, or skirts are to be worn at the top
of the hip when sitting and standing (no sagging).
Student Planner: The student planner will be used to keep track of
daily objectives and homework assignments. Students must have their
planners with them every day.
