I have read and understand the classroom and safety rules.
Student:____________________________Parent:_______________________________
Classroom Rules
1. Enter quietly, on time, and with all necessary materials. 2. Be prepared to begin class when the bell rings, sitting in your assigned seat & stay on task. 3. Use appropriate behavior and avoid using put-downs and verbal abuse. 4. No food, drinks (except water), jackets or hats in the classroom. 5. Respect private property. 6. Leave the room at least as clean as you found it. 7. Try to limit yourself to just one pass per quarter. Excess passes will cost points as if a tardy. (If you are not in your seat when the bell rings, you are tardy.) 8. If you copy someone else’s work or let someone copy your work, you will receive a zero for that assignment. 9. You are financially responsible for the replacement cost of any damaged or missing equipment. 10. You are to work safely and follow all safety procedures. This is a must!
BE SAFE!!!! Don’t eat in the lab. Do as you "oughter" add acid to water. Don’t clown around in lab. Avoid laboratory accidents, always wear goggles and be sure you use the correct substance and measure the exact amount called for as you carefully follow the lab procedure. Notify your instructor of any problems or concerns. Check with your instructor before proceeding with inquiry ideas.
Consequences of Breaking Classroom Rules Breaking classroom rules will result in consequences. These can include removal from labs, office referrals, deduction of points, parental notification, detentions with cleanup duties, ISS, Saturday school, etc.
Tardy Policy You will receive a bonus of 10 points if you are never tardy & have not used extra pass(es). a. 1st tardy: lose 5 bonus points b. 2nd tardy: lose 5 bonus points, 10 minute detention c. 3rd tardy: lose 5 points, 20 minute detention, parent notification d. 4th tardy: 30 minute detention, parent notification
e. 5th tardy: referral to office for
Make-up Work Make-up work is your responsibility! You have one day to make up your work for each day absent (excused). If it is not made up within this time it will be treated as a late assignment. Plan to do all make-up tests and labs after school. Unexcused absences result in a zero for any work that day, the loss of bonus points as with a tardy, and loss of the opportunity to complete any work that was due before the unexcused absence. You are responsible to make sure that legitimate absences have been excused so check on this right away! Grades are calculated with a point system so missing assignments can be very costly to your percent.
Late Assignments Spot checks cannot be made up. Late assignments will be marked down one third. I will only accept assignments up to one week late. (Please see me if you are recovery from an illness or situation that might require additional time.) If the assignment was marked during class time or has already been returned to others, check with me to see if it will be accepted. If you are assigned ISS, you are to get your assignment(s) in advance. Failure to do this means that you will do the regular assignment as well as the generic ISS assignment. All of this work is due at the same time as the rest of the class.
Class Participation Extra points may be received for positive contributions and exceptionally good lab habits. Points are docked for wasting time, causing distractions, answering out of turn, working poorly during labs, wasting supplies, being unprepared for class, not being on task, not being in your assigned area, unexcused absence, etc.
