9 Aug 2017 Dear Parents & Guardians

Welcome to a new school year! I am looking forward to having your child in my math class and am excited to be a part of the academic progress they will make this year.

Seventh Grade Math is a demanding course. Nightly Assignments (traditional homework and/or a preview video & note sheet) are important parts of the learning process and can be expected. Please help your child establish a routine with a regular time and place to complete their Nightly Assignments. **Please complete/return the bottom of this sheet** to let me know your student’s access to Internet connectivity outside of school.

Students are asked to bring the following supplies to class daily: two pencils (mechanical or traditional), a highlighter, a dark dry erase expo, loose-leaf paper, and a composition book. The composition book will be used to take “Foot Stompers” (notes with examples that can be used as references during homework and quizzes in Math). The Math Foot Stomper composition book should be brought home daily to help with Nightly Assignments or review. Occasionally, Science and STEM composition books will also be required to be brought to Math Class.

Calculators are encouraged to __help check__ homework and will be allowed during certain classroom activities thru the year. The school system provides the TI-30XIIS calculator for in-class use, and I recommend purchasing the same calculator for home use to allow your child to become thoroughly familiar with its functions. The CMCSS Calculator Contract for use of the school calculator in class is at the bottom of this sheet. I encourage you to sign and return even if you choose to purchase a personal calculator for your child so one is always available.

Although calculators will be used at certain times, a fluency in fundamental math skills (such as multiplication facts and operations with fractions and decimals) will be expected during class and parts of state testing. We will be reviewing/practicing these skills in class, but I highly encourage you to practice them with your student at home also.

You can access Power School to obtain grade information throughout the year. Grades should be considered a reflection of the student’s 7th Grade Math Skills mastery. I will post all graded assignments as quickly as possible. If you need more information on accessing Power School, please contact the NEMS Office. I will post notes/classwork, homework, Nightly Assignments, worksheets, and dates of upcoming quizzes or tests on my website at the start of the week and will update as we progress through the week. **http://MathWithTice.wikispaces.com** Information on accessing a math textbook on-line to use as a reference can also be found on this website.

I will be using Remind.com to send out a “heads up” for quizzes, tests, projects. If you would like to receive the “heads up” text messages, you will need to send a text as indicated below based on your student’s math class: For 1st Period Math -- text **@dcdhgc** to 81010. For 2nd Period Math -- text **@1718nem** to 81010. For 3rd Period Math -- text **@1718nems** to 81010. For 4th Period Math -- text **@1718nems7** to 81010.

Please encourage your child to ask questions in class. I am available, with coordination, to help students individually during lunch. If you would like me to update you on your child’s progress or if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at Lisa.Tice@cmcss.net <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> or 931-648-5665.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Since communication is a key to success, **//PLEASE ENSURE THAT __YOU HAVE ENTERED__ YOUR MOST CURRENT CONTACT INFORMATION (PHONE AND EMAIL) INTO POWER SCHOOL//**//.// I am able to use __parent/guardian entered__ email addresses to send updates on what is happening in Math Class.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Once again, welcome to 7th Grade Math; let’s work together to make this the best year ever.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I would like to have access to a TI-30XIIS calculator provided by CMCSS. By signing this I understand that I am responsible for this calculator while it is in my care and that it is to be used in the manner for which it is intended. I will only use the calculator that is assigned to me during class time and will return it to its designated storage place before the end of class each day that it is used. If any damages are noticed, I am to show my teacher immediately upon receiving the calculator at the beginning of the class. I recognize that having this access is a privilege and NOT a right. I understand that if I misuse the calculator in any way, my privilege to use it will be revoked. If the calculator is damaged while it is in my possession, I understand that disciplinary action will be taken immediately, and I will be required to pay for a replacement calculator.
