Meet Mr. Raulerson

Greetings, 
I am excited to have the honor of teaching sixth grade math here at Ivy Hawn Charter School of the Arts! My wife, Wanda, and I have four amazing children whom have all graduated college, married, and are working in the career field of choice, (pictured is my youngest Courtney). 
In my opinion, every student can be successful in math. My philosophy of teaching is anchored in "The Power of Yet". Every student can achieve a satisfactory level of mastery, with the proper effort from the student, and the right motivation, encouragement, and support, from parents and, of course, me as the teacher. Every sixth grader is going to learn math this year and they are going to have a lot of fun doing so! This is going to be a 'RADICAL*' year!
Sincerely, 
Wendell Raulerson

*Radical - an expression, also referred to as an nth root, or simply radical, and expression that involves a root.

Classroom Policies

Homework

If an assignment or activity for the day is not completed during the class period, than this work will need to be completed as homework to satisfy the required work for the class.  It may also be necessary for students to bring work home on occasion in order to prepare for assessments. 

Grading

Grades follow the school setup of the gradebook, with 40% for formatives and 60% for summatives. Remediation will be available for summative work for 1 week after the original test date. Formative retakes are available upon student request and completion of required remediation work. This must be set up with me at least 1 week in advance. There will be no retakes given the last week of each quarter. (See grading policies in student handbook for more details)

Absences

If a student is absent, then it is their responsibility to ask me for the missed work before the absence or when they return. Most work can also be found on our Canvas course which can be printed out or watched. They will have 1 week to turn in the missed work. If longer is needed, special arrangements must be made with me before hand.​
