How should I turn assignments in?
Worksheets must have the students first and last name, date and class period
(ex:1) neatly printed in the appropriate areas.
Assignments completed on notebook paper should be folded lengthwise (opening
right to left) with full name, date, period and assignment neatly printed on
the outside.
Points will be deducted if these or any directions are not fully followed.
Are late assignments accepted?
Generally no. However, the teacher may make special arrangements. Please
speak to me as soon as possible. Once a class assignment is graded and
returned, no additional papers will be accepted.
I am in Biology or Bio Tech - is extra credit available?
YES! Each Friday students may turn in a newspaper article and handwritten
summary (on notebook paper) concerning science or health. Each week this
assignment is worth three extra credit points. However, if a student
completes the extra credit every week for the entire grading period, the
total extra credit will be 45 points. All articles must be less than seven
days old. Articles should be cut out of the newspaper, with the name and
date of the newspaper written on it OR if the article is printed from a
computer source, the article must include the FULL web address and name of
the website. ***These articles must be a mimimum of three paragraghs***
May I turn in my extra credit early?
Extra credit will only be accepted on Friday at the beginning of class. If
you know you will not be in class on Friday, you may turn it in on Thursday.
If you miss school on Friday (with an excused absence), extra credit is to
be turned in on Monday. However, the article must be from the week before.
All articles are to be less then seven days old.
What must be done in order for a student to participate in labs?
Several things must be done in order for a student to participate in labs:
1.) All students must take and pass a microscope test with a score of
80% or above. This may be taken as many times as needed.
2.) All students must take and pass a lab safety test with a score of
80% or above. This may be taken as many times as needed.
3.) All students must have a lab safety contract properly returned to
Ms. Yarborough where it will be kept on file.
4.) All students must dress in the proper fashion on lab days. Any
clothing that violates the lab safety contract will not be allowed in the
lab. Students must be ready when the bell rings.
