Why Am I In Math AIS?

New York State requires that students achieve a passing Level 3 or 4 on the annual state math exam.  When a child is not meeting these levels, school districts must provide additional support in the form of Academic Intervention Services.  This service will support students in efforts to pass the state exams as well as improve mathematical understanding throughout the year.  The next round of NYS testing will begin the week of March 9th, 2009.

CLASSROOM RULES

These rules are designed by both the teachers and the students.  We believe that when we develop the rules together, we will achieve a better understanding of classroom expectations.

1.  When someone is speaking (student or teacher) give him/her your full attention.

2. Stay in your seat unless you've asked for permission to go to the bathroom or sharpen a pencil.  If you need to get up choose a good time to do so.  In other words, don't sharpen your pencil in the middle of a teacher's important discussion.

3. RECYCLE as much as possible and DO NOT WASTE PAPER!!!!!

4. Be kind to each other and treat others as you would like to be treated.

5. Come to class on time and be ready to learn.
