Student/Parent Information Letter

From: Peter Burrell

Algebra/ Honors Pre-Calculus/ Pre-Calculus

Welcome to Scripps Ranch High School for the 2008-2009 school year.  In an effort to make information available to students and parents at their convenience, grades, course syllabi and daily assignments will be put online at the following address:

If you need to contact me, it is easier and faster if you email me at the following address:

 

pburrell@sandi.net

 

I attempt to answer messages no later than one day after being received.

Summary grades will be posted approximately every two weeks. Accessing the online grades will require the student's district ID number and a password issued by the school site technician. You will need to save the password in a safe place. If you already have a district password from either another school and/ or another child you will use the established password and the student's ID number. Establishing a replacement for a lost password must be done manually by our site technician and you could face a delay in receiving the new password.

 

I will enforce:

The SRHS Academic Honesty Policy that is posted online at the following URL:

Class changes will not be allowed after the first grading period.  A student who drops a course after the first grading period of a semester for reasons within their control, or who is dropped because of his/her behavior in class is detrimental to the welfare of the class may receive an "F/U" grade on his/her semester grade reports and cumulative grade history records.  Grades reported on the semester report card are part of the student's cumulative grade history records.  When students withdraw from a class for reasons not within their control, the school shall evaluate individual circumstances and determine whether a grade should appear on the student's cumulative grade history record

 

Students are required to bring necessary materials to class everyday it meets.  In addition to their notebook with paper, textbook and homework, there are a few items listed in the course syllabus that students must always bring to class.  Algebra students will need a scientific calculator or a graphing calculator, some graph paper and pencils.  Pre-Calculus students will need some graph paper, pencils and a graphing calculator (preferably a TI-84 silver).  If any of these items presents a financial hardship (especially the graphing calculator) please leave me a note on the signed portion (page two) of this document. 

 

Please make note of the afore mentioned addresses and please read the course syllabus for details of each course. Printed copies of the syllabus or Academic Honesty Policy are available upon request.
