What should I do if I was absent?

Upon your return you should check the daily bins for any 
paperwork that you might have missed.  You should then check 
with the teacher to find out if there is anything else you need 
to know.  The teacher will not be seeking you out to give you 
the information.

Will I have extra time to do assignments that I missed while I was absent?

Yes.  You will have the same number of days to make up your work 
as the number of days you were out.  For example, if you are 
sick for 2 days, you will have 2 days to complete any work you 
missed.

Will assingments be accepted late.

No.  Not unless you have been absent or there was some unforseen 
emergency and a parent has contacted the teacher.

Can I get extra help?

Absolutely!  I am available almost every morning at 7:30 am, 
every activity period, and most afternoons (except for soccer 
season).  I do ask however that you let me know that you are 
coming just in case there is a conflict (staff meetings or other 
obligations).

Do you give extra credit?

No.  Every once in awhile the entire class may be given the 
opportunity to earn some extra points, but extra credit is not 
given out on an individual basis.

What can I do to be successful in science?

Practice what you learn everyday.  When you go home take an 
extra ten minutes every day to teach someone in your family what 
you learned that day.  Also, do all of your assignments and ask 
questions as soon as you don't understand something. I bet 
someone else in the class has the same exact question as you.

Can I get assignments off of your web page?

You can get the name of the assignment but you will not be able 
to get a print out.  In other words, no links or attachments to 
worksheets.  You will need to remember to bring those things 
home with you each day.  Be diligent about using your agenda 
book in class and during afternoon homeroom.
