4. All work must be completed neatly and on time.  Assignments must be turned in at the beginning of class on the due date.  Late work will have 20% deducted for each day late and will not be accepted after four days.
5. Absent students are responsible for finding out what they missed and may have one day for each day out to complete missed homework.  Students are responsible for scheduling missed labs, tests and quizzes after school within one week.
6. Hall/bathroom passes are for emergencies only.  A maximum of three emergencies allowed per quarter.  Up to three bonus points will be awarded to students that do not use passes in each quarter.
7. Follow all laboratory safety rules.  Disregarding any safety rule will result in being removed from the work area and receiving a “0” for the lab.
8. Do not copy any work that is to be graded.  The honor code statement must be written and signed on all graded work including homework, tests, quizzes, projects, essays and lab reports.  No signature will result in a “0” grade.
