*A calculator may be checked out from RHS for home use for
the year once the calculator agreement form is returned.
Calculator emulator applications for phones may be
downloaded and used at home.
It is YOUR responsibility to complete assignments
on days you are absent. The time you have to
complete work will follow the RISD IOG. You are
expected to have the notes completed for each day
you miss. Calendars, assignments, notes, and
helpful videos can all be found on mskmath.com.
Communication is key!
Late Work:
Late work is discouraged so that students do not
fall behind. Mathematics builds day-to-day so
practice is required for mastery of a topic. You may
turn in homework one day late for a 30-point
deduction in credit. No late work from the current
unit will be accepted after the test on that unit.
Academic Dishonesty is not tolerated and
will face consequences according to RHS
policy.

the material. I am always willing to help if you are
willing to put in the effort!
