Expectations of Students: (1) Be on Time. Be seated in your desk with the required handouts by the time the bell rings. If you are late to class, any assignments due that day are also considered late. (2) Come Prepared. Come to class with the necessary materials. This includes your binder, a pen/pencil, and a calculator. Have homework assignments completed and be ready for quizzes and tests. (3) Work On-Task. Use class time wisely to complete the work that has been assigned. Remain at your desk from the beginning of class until the bell rings unless the teacher has directed you to move or you have asked permission to use the restroom. (4) Act Respectfully. Respect the teacher, other students in the class, and the classroom. Cell phones must be turned off and out of sight during class time or they will be confiscated. (5) Follow the Safety Rules. Read the safety rules and act accordingly at all times. Ensure that these rules have been reviewed and signed by both you and your parent/guardian. Classroom Policy: Quizzes/ Tests Quizzes will be given very frequently. In the case of an absence on the day of a quiz or test, students will be required to write the missed exam during lunch on the day of their return. Labs Labs will take place on a regular basis. A report must be completed for each lab activity. Late labs will lose 20% per day late. In the case of an absence on the day of a lab, students will be required to make up the lab during the designated time. Homework Assignments Homework will be assigned daily. All homework is considered important and is expected to be completed. Review should take place on a regular basis. Students are strongly encouraged to ask for help if they are struggling with concepts. Twenty percent will be deducted for each class day the assignment is late. Notebook Notes will be taken almost every class. Students are expected to copy the notes as they will be evaluated once each unit, on the day before the unit test. The notebook grade will be entered in the assignments category. Absences It is your responsibility to obtain and make up any missed notes and assignments. Assignments are due the day after you return, unless otherwise indicated. Contacting Me: I am available in room I219 at lunch most days. I can be emailed at
