Welcome to Mrs. Burt's Classroom Page

Grades are posted first to Schoology and then synced over to Skyward. Students should:

 

All assignments are posted to Schoology for students. There are a couple of ways to access them. Student can (1) check the right side of the page (Schoology home page or course page) for upcoming assignments, (2) sort through folders for older assignments, or (3) click on "grades" on the course page, then scroll to find the assignment, then click on the assignment title to see additional details.

If a student is absent, the work is posted so that they can keep up while they are gone and return to class ready to move on. 

If a student is absent, they will have 5 days from their return to make up the assignment. Late work will be accepted until 5 days after the due date for up to 80% of the earned points.

For additional information, please refer to the student handbook linked in the student section of Siegel High School's website.

 

 

Help is available during Star Time, and before/after school by appointment. Students are required to request time 24 hours in advance for before and after school. Star Time requests must be made before the lunch period day of. Morning help requires a pass to my classroom and students need to ask with enough time for me to give them one.

 

 

 

 

This class is designed with a flipped classroom approach. Students are assigned pre-recorded lecture notes for homework and are expected to watch, take notes, and complete the practice problems introducing the topic. At the beginning of each period, there is time to review questions and address misunderstandings. This approach frees up class time to address misconceptions after content has been presented and allows us to practice together rather than on our own.

This class will have several labs throughout the year tied to standards we are learning at the time or have already covered in the past. I recommend that students purchase their own set of goggles for labs (they can reuse them in college as well):

 

 

 

 

I also recommend that students purchase a review book. There are great ones out there and any of them will do as long as it is used. Some of my more strongly recommended ones are:
