I would like to welcome everyone to the 2023-2024 academic school year.  This is my 18th year teaching here at Riverside High School, and I look forward to another exciting year with your child in math.  Email is the fastest means of communication for myself as well as most parents. I can be reached at any time throughout the day at mdoczynski@yonkerspublicschools.org.  If there is a more important matter that you would like to speak to me directly about, please call the school at 914-376-8425 and I will return your call as soon as possible.  If your child needs extra help in math, I will be available every Wednesday from 2:30-3:15 in room 214.  If it is not possible for your son or daughter to get extra help on a Wednesday, please have them speak with me privately to arrange a day that works for both of us.  I will do my best to accommodate any request for a day other than Wednesday.

 Students must obey the following rules upon entering my class: 

• Treat everyone in the room with respect, starting with yourself
• Raise your hand and wait to be called on if you wish to say something
• No electronic devices / No headphones or AirPods / No hats
• Remain in your seat at all times

 Students are required to have the following items on a daily basis:

• A positive attitude toward math
• Two pencils and two pens
• A notebook dedicated to math (black & white, spiral, or binder)
• Loose-leaf and graph paper

 Your child’s grade will be calculated as follows:

• Assessments                     60%
• Homework                         20%
• Participation                      20%

 I anticipate a successful year in math with your child and I welcome any questions or concerns you have throughout the entire school year.

                                                                                              Sincerely,

                                                                                                           Mr. Michael Doczynski
