assignments directly to Mrs. Guerrero-Frazier.

and sometimes after-school to help you with any assignment or science
understanding.

What can I do to help my science grade?

First, you should make sure all of your work is completed and turned in.  
Second, turn in all completed work on time.  Third, take advantage of extra 
credit when it is available - those extra points can always help.  Fourth,
study on a nightly basis 15-20 minutes a night.

What do I do if I'm absent?

Check the Daily Agenda for your Geo Science class to see what was covered when
you were absent.  Call/Email Mrs. Guerrero-Frazier to get work when absent. 
Upon return to school after absence, come in before school, at break or lunch
to make up absent work.

What do I do if I'm absent for a Test?

First of all try not to be absent, but there are reasons beyond control.  
You will take a different version of the test that what was given on the 
scheduled Test date.  Tests can be made up at lunch only.  I have front-of-
the-lunch-line passes for students who are taking tests at lunch.  Make the 
test up as soon as possible, as we will be moving on and it is best to be 
tested when the material learned is fresh in your head.

Can I re-take a test with a low score?

No, low test scores cannot me re-taken.  Take advantage of all extra credit 
(you never know when it will become available) because this will help low 
test scores and prepare for future missed points.  Make sure you have 
thoroughly studied for the test by looking over your notes, worksheets and 
review questions.  Studying with a buddy is a great idea.

Can homework points be made up?

No homework points cannot be made up. A homework grade worth 10 
points, students will receive either a 10 for completeness of homework or 
zero for incomplete homework.  The zero cannot be made up.
