Math Help
As students have a variety of learning styles a variety of teaching strategies, accommodations and
resources will be utilized. Students must be accountable of their own learning and are responsible
to reach out if they do not understand something. I am always there to offer extra instruction
and assistance when necessary. If needed, out of class time is available to be scheduled.
Appointments can be made by utilizing the link on Mrs. McNutt’s webpage.

Exams
There will be frequent quizzes and at the end of each unit, an exam. If a student is absent, it is
the responsibility of the student to make up any missed assessments when the student returns to
class. A student is caught cheating will receive a 0% until a different test has been written in an
effort to accurately assess the learning. As well, parents will be notified, and an alternative
testing environment may be explored on further testing.

Absences
Regular attendance is critical to success in this course. Absences may seriously affect your overall
success. In the event of an absence, it is the student’s responsibility to find out what work must
be completed and, with the teacher, determine a mutually agreed upon timeline for all missed
work to be handed in. Your peers, Mrs. McNutt’s website, and Mrs. McNutt are all good
resources for finding out what you have missed.
 To ensure academic success, students are expected to complete assignments on a timely
basis. When a student does not hand in three (3) assignment pieces in a given course, he/she will
be expected to complete this work in the Self Directed Learning (SDL) time block; therefore the
student may be placed in academic SDL. Parents/Guardians will be contacted in these situations
so that all parties are aware of the academic circumstances of their children.

Questions or Concerns
If during the semester you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to
contact me using email ( mcnuttb@lrsd.ab.ca ), website (mrsbmcnutt.weebly.com ), school (403-
646-2264) or my cell phone (403-498-7070). It takes a team to bring an individual to success
and I look forward to working with you this year.
