Ms. M. Saidi, [email protected]

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! I am looking forward to being your child’s teacher. I’m Ms. Saidi, an 18 year LAUSD teacher. I am National Board Certified and have participated in many grant projects to help advance our students. This is my first year at Mount Gleason, and I am excited to pursue my passion, which is teaching math. If we can develop a good working partnership in the education of your child, it can surely predict a successful year for all.

Homework Policy:

I expect all daily work to be completed fully and on time. If not, it is counted

as an incomplete, resulting in a zero grade. 9 points- Complete homework
5 point- Part of homework is done
0 point- No homework or wrong page

Late Homework Policy:

One day late will be dropped to a 7.
Two days late will be given a 5.
Absent work is not considered late. If the student has an excused absence, he or she will have one extra day to make up absent work for each day absent. It is the student’s responsibility to get all make-up homework from the teacher either before or after school.

5-Week Reporting Period

Three or more “0’s” in a 5-week period will result in an “Unsatisfactory” on the

report card under work habits.
Two “0’s” in a 5-week period will result in a

“Satisfactory” on the report card.
One or no “0’s” in a 5-week period will result in

an “Excellent” on the report card.

TEST

Test will be given at the end of every Chapter and it will be worth half

of your childs grade in my class. 

Grading policy and grading scale:

100% to 90% -A
89% to 80% - B
79% to 70% - C
69% to 60% - D
59% to 0 % - F
