Welcome to Mrs. Cushing's Homepage
My name is Mrs. Barbara Cushing and I am honored to be the RISE Coordinator as well as the Junior High Geometry teacher at Legacy Traditional School – Northwest Tucson. I have a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Statistics and Computer Science, and a Master’s degree in Education, with a Science, Mathematics Specialist and Gifted Education Endorsement.
A little bit about me: I am married, and have two children. My daughter is a computer animator and works for Blue Sky Studios in Greenwich, CT. Blue Sky Studios is the movie studio that made the "Ice Age" animated movies. She recently finished working on "Ice Age 4: Continental Drift". She is currently working on the new movie, “Epic”. My son is a college sophomore majoring in History & Mathematics. My husband is a Software Engineer at Raytheon, and was recently the Software Manager/Scientist at Steward Observatory at UA, working with the Large Binocular Telescope project (the largest terrestrial telescope in the world).
I have been blessed in my academic and professional life, as my experiences range from the typical to the extraordinary! I have had the unique opportunity to work in several exciting fields -- as a military officer; a Mars researcher at the US Geological Survey’s Astrogeology Division; a computer scientist for the US Navy; a scientific satellite planner at the University of Alaska; a space science educator with NASA’s Challenger Learning Center; a STEM educator at UA’s Biosphere 2; and as a sea ice researcher in Antarctica on board the National Science Foundation’s icebreaker/research vessel R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer (see the May 1996 issue of National Geographic for more info!).
As you can probably tell, science and math are my passions, and I hope to instill that love of discovery in all disciplines
to my students as well.
Looking forward to a fantastic year!
Mrs. Cushing

Textbook
For classwork you will have access to a Saxon Geometry textbook. For home study, you will be assigned a Saxon Geometry Student Textbook CD. This CD contains every page of your textbook in PDF format. This CD will be returned to your teacher at the end of the school year.
Pencils & Pens
Make sure you have at least two pencils ready for class. If you are using a wooden pencil, sharpen them before class starts. If you break a pencil during class, you should have another pencil, sharpened and ready to use. Regarding mechanical pencils, make sure you have enough lead to get you through the school day. It would be a good idea to have extra lead available in your pencil case.
The only pens we use in our class are red pens. These are ONLY used to correct homework / classroom assignments in class. Assignments completed in pen will not be accepted.
Planner
Since students have many responsibilities at school, a planner is a great tool to help you stay organized. This planner will also serve as a communication piece between home and school and should be used as follows:
· You should have your planner everyday for every class.
· Each teacher will require assignments to be copied directly from the board to the planner.
· The planner should come home every night (not left at school).
· Your planner will be used as a Reading grade in Mrs. Spanier’s or Mrs. Fite’s classes.
We ask that parents check their child’s planner on a daily basis to see what he/she has been learning at school, and to stay informed of their child’s homework & project assignments.
Grading Policy
The following grading policy is for all Math classes:
1. Enter the classroom quietly when invited in.
2. Use the pencil sharpener, trashcan, get tissues, etc., at this time.
3. Sit down at your seat. Seating will be assigned. Please sit only at your assigned seats.
4. Take out your materials for the day. Do NOT wait until after the bell to get your materials!
5. Check the agenda on the board, and write your homework assignment in your planner.
6. Have the previous night’s assignment out & ready to be checked.
7. Begin bellwork.
8. Homework quizzes will be given based on the previous night’s homework.
9. As a class we will correct and quickly review homework from the previous night.
10. The new lesson will be introduced.
11. As a class and individually, we will practice the new lesson.
12. Prepare for dismissal when instructed to do so.
Homework Policy
I assign homework because it teaches you the necessary life skills needed in your future (being responsible for your actions, prioritizing, organizing, and problem solving skills). It also reinforces what you learned in class, and prepares you for upcoming quizzes and tests.
Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday, and is an opportunity for you to practice the lessons presented that day. The assignments are posted each day on my whiteboard and on the Junior High website. You are responsible for keeping up with assignments when absent. Homework is due the very next day class meets.
As per the Parent/Student Handbook, late work is NOT accepted. This goes for homework that was not done, left at home, left in the car, eaten by a pet shark, etc. It doesn’t matter if it’s not here, it is late, and it is a zero.
Homework must be done neatly and in pencil on lined loose-leaf paper. Each assignment will be completed on lined paper and must include the correct heading at the top of the paper. It must include your first AND last name, date, subject, and period number in the right-hand corner of the paper.
VERY IMPORTANT
*** You are required to show all steps and neatly circle or box your final answer. ***
Homework will be checked at the beginning of the period for completion and/or accuracy; therefore, you should always try your best.
Homework assignments checked for completeness are generally graded on a point scale.
Important: When doing a math assignment, ALL work must be shown; writing only the problem down does not constitute a complete attempt. A paper with just answers, without the problem being worked out, will be given a zero. When answering homework problems that require a written explanation, your answer should be in complete sentences.
Tutoring: As needed...., by invitation only: Monday from 2:45 p.m. – 3:45 p.m.
Note Taking Note taking is a critical skill that is emphasized and practiced throughout the year. You will be learning note-taking skills in your English class. Taking notes during class requires students to listen, look, write, and think (process) all at the same time. Notes are required, as much of the material covered in lectures will be stressed on tests.
Lecture
Stay on task during the class period. Give your full attention and listen quietly to the speaker, whether a teacher or another student. Raise your hand if you have a question or would like to comment. DO NOT interrupt the teacher or other students speaking to class. Wait for the teacher to give you permission to speak.
You may not work on any other subject in class unless you have specific permission from me. If you are working on material from another class without permission, it will be confiscated.
Tests And Quizzes
Cumulative tests are announced in class and on the Junior High web page. Quizzes are not always announced. You should be prepared each day on the recent material. Frequent quizzes will be given over the homework to assess mastery. It is a good habit to study the notes and homework each night to stay prepared.
If a test or quiz is given and you finish early, go back and recheck your answers and make sure you have completed all of the sections. Once you are completely finished, turn the assessment over and begin silently reading your novel until all students are finished. Everyone’s assessment will be collected at the same time.
Missed Work Due To Absence
Regular attendance is especially important in school since each lesson usually builds on concepts and skills previously taught. If a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to ask for (and study) the notes and the missed lesson, write down the missed assignment, make sure it is turned in on time, ask for dates/times to make up a quiz or test.
· Homework that was due the day you were absent is due the day you return. Please remember to turn it in. The homework that was assigned on the day or days you were absent is due within the same number of days you were absent.
· There is a box for you to place assignments once your return to school that you completed because of your absence. Make sure you add “Absent on date ” on the top of your papers.
· If you are absent on a test or quiz day, you are responsible for arranging a time with me to make up the test or quiz outside of the regular class time. A test that is not made up receives a grade of zero.
· Remember, you can find the day’s assignment by calling a study buddy or looking on the Junior High website.
Getting Your Attention
When I desire the class’ attention, I will either stand quietly in front of the class or give a verbal request one time only until everyone is quiet and their focus is on me.
Getting My Attention
Raising your hand is the best way to get my attention. I will regularly ask if there are questions and check for understanding during the lesson. If you have a question or would like to respond to a question, you will raise your hand and wait to be called on unless otherwise instructed. Remember to be respectful; do not just blurt out the answer.
Classroom Rules And Expectations
A. Demonstrate RESPECT for:
1. Yourself by
- using appropriate language.
- abiding by the school dress code policy.
- using the rest rooms between classes.
- demonstrating a positive attitude towards learning at LTS.
2. Others by
- accepting everyone as an individual and avoiding using put-downs and name calling
- raising your hand to be recognized.
- allowing everyone the opportunity to participate in classroom discussions.
- treating others the way you like to be treated.
3. Classroom teachers by
- following all classroom rules.
- remaining quiet when guests enter the room.
- treating substitutes teacher with extra respect.
B. Demonstrate RESPONSIBILITY by
1. Being in your seat and ready to work when the bell rings.
2. Following directions the first time they are given.
3. Working independently unless otherwise instructed.
4. Completing all assignments on time.
5. Remaining in your assigned seat.
6. Requesting permission and a pass before leaving the room.
7. Bring all required materials to class daily.
Honesty
Any form of academic dishonesty (cheating) will result in a zero. Cheating is considered to be giving or receiving unauthorized help on an assignment. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism; copying someone’s work during a test, quiz, and journal or on homework; being dishonest when grading homework; or allowing someone to copy your work. The best way to avoid this is to not do it!
Any student caught in unauthorized communication with another person (e.g., talking, signing, writing/passing notes, texting on cell phone, Morse code, etc.) during a graded assignment will be considered cheating. Cheating in any way, shape, or form will not be tolerated.
Recommended Actions for Success:
Parents as Partners
Family involvement is an essential element for a student’s success in mathematics. Be positive and support homework, don’t do it for them. Think of yourself as a guide rather than your child’s teacher. You can help by asking questions and listening.
I have high expectations that each student will embrace the challenging work with passion and commitment to give their best capable effort.
A little bit about me: I am married, and have two children. My daughter is a computer animator and works for Blue Sky Studios in Greenwich, CT. Blue Sky Studios is the movie studio that made the "Ice Age" animated movies. She recently finished working on "Ice Age 4: Continental Drift". She is currently working on the new movie, “Epic”. My son is a college sophomore majoring in History & Mathematics. My husband is a Software Engineer at Raytheon, and was recently the Software Manager/Scientist at Steward Observatory at UA, working with the Large Binocular Telescope project (the largest terrestrial telescope in the world).
I have been blessed in my academic and professional life, as my experiences range from the typical to the extraordinary! I have had the unique opportunity to work in several exciting fields -- as a military officer; a Mars researcher at the US Geological Survey’s Astrogeology Division; a computer scientist for the US Navy; a scientific satellite planner at the University of Alaska; a space science educator with NASA’s Challenger Learning Center; a STEM educator at UA’s Biosphere 2; and as a sea ice researcher in Antarctica on board the National Science Foundation’s icebreaker/research vessel R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer (see the May 1996 issue of National Geographic for more info!).
As you can probably tell, science and math are my passions, and I hope to instill that love of discovery in all disciplines
to my students as well.
Looking forward to a fantastic year!
