Classroom+Rules



Classroom Rules & Expectations:


 * BE PREPARED, BE RESPONSIBLE, BE RESPECTFUL, AND STAY ON TASK **
 * 1) ** Bell ** **work-** Be seated when the bell rings. When you enter the classroom, get organized and fill out your science journal with the day’s assignment. There will also be additional instructions on what to do to start class. __I start and end the class, the bell does not__!
 * 2) ** Homework ** - __Most__ assignments will be done in class, or at least, you will be given time to get started on the assignment. But, occasionally some work will have to go home. You are responsible for completing and returning any assignments that are not finished during class.
 * 3) **Late work-** Late work is not accepted, homework that is not turned in on time will result in a ZERO. Assignments are assigned for a reason, for you to learn, if you don’t do them, you’re not learning. If you have trouble completing an assignment, you should see me before school.
 * 4) ** Make-up work ** - If you are gone, it will be your responsibility to get the work you missed, including any notes that were taken while you were gone. If you have ANY questions, you should ask your neighbor first, then if you still don’t understand, SEE ME!!! You will have the number of days you missed plus one day to make up the work. So, if you missed two days, you will have three days to turn in the work. These assignments must include the student’s **name and the date in which they were absent**.
 * 5) ** Make up test/quiz - ** If a test or quiz is missed, the student will take the test on the day the student returns to class. If a student is absent for an extended period of time (5+ days), quizzes and tests must be made up before or after school within one week of his or her return. If a student does not make up tests and/or quizzes within the given time, they will receive a **zero**.
 * 6) ** Cheating ** - Cheating will not be tolerated and will result a zero for the assignment.
 * 7) ** Materials- __BE PREPARED! YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RETURN TO YOUR HOMEROOM.__ ** You should ALWAYS bring your agenda, science journal, completed assignments, paper, and pen/pencil.
 * 8) ** Labs- ** Lab work and hands-on activities will be done periodically, according to class behavior. A safety contract must be on file with me before any students will be able to participate in a lab (this is for safety purposes).
 * 9) ** Equipment- ** Students will NOT touch any equipment or materials until instructed to do so.
 * 10) ** Food and drinks ** - No food or drinks will be permitted in my room. **NO GUM!**
 * 11) ** Cleanliness ** - You will be held responsible for keeping your area clean. There will be NO writing, carving, or any kind of destruction to the property. If you come in and see these types of things, you must report them immediately to me so you won’t be held responsible.
