If you were absent on Monday, you would look under Monday to find the work. • Turn the absent work in the late tray the following day and sign it the assignment in in the binder (You will still receive full credit). • You have the same number of days absent to make up work your missing work. • Ex: If your absent for two days, you have two days to get me your missing work.

12. Music • Sometimes when we do quiet work or group work, we will listen to music. • The music can be provided by you. • It must be a separate play list on your phone titled “Science Playlist” • All music must be school appropriate.

13. Class syllabus • Beginning of class: You are to enter the room quietly and ON TIME. You should always sit in your assigned seat, or lab group. At the beginning of each class period, you will be responsible for writing down your classwork/homework into your student agenda. These assignments, activities and homework will be listed on the whiteboard in the front of the room. All materials needed for the day should be on your desk immediately after you take your seat. • End of class: The teacher, NOT THE BELL, dismisses class. You will be dismissed only when the class is quiet and seated, and any materials or messes cleaned up. It is important to wait for the teacher to dismiss you because often I will have important announcements about homework or assignments that you will need to hear before you leave. • Leaving the classroom: You are expected and encouraged to use the restroom between classes. However, if you must go during class there are a few rules (barring emergencies): 1) You may not go during direct instruction, class discussion, or if a presentation is being given 2) You must sign out on your bathroom pass 3) You must sign out in the binder 4) You must hustle. You need to ask me to leave for the restroom unless it is an emergency. • Hats: Hats are NOT ALLOWED anywhere on campus. • Gum: Gum is absolutely positively NOT ALLOWED anywhere on campus. If caught with gum you will be meeting with the teacher, consequences with be given and further disciplinary action such as a detention may take place. • Attendance/Tardies: We all know that attendance is tied directly to achievement. When a student is absent, there is a “While you were out” file box in the classroom that has all the work that was completed each day. Power points are available on Mrs. Morrison’s webpage. It is the student’s responsibility to get the work to make up including notes that they missed. Turn the absent work in the absent/late tray the following day (You will still receive full credit). **You have the same number of days absent to make up work your missing work. (i.e. If your absent for two days, you have two days to turn in your missing work.)** Notes can found my web page, copies in the front of the room or you can get the notes from a friend. On my web page, you will find the classroom activities for each day and the homework for each night. Entering the classroom after the tardy bell without a pass is not acceptable. This will result in a detention and a conference with the teacher. Multiple offenses may earn you a referral. • Lab behavior and expectations: Safety is extremely important in Science labs. You must follow all rules provided by me at the beginning of each lab. It is crucial that you do this to ensure your safety, and the safety of those around you. Failure to follow safety procedures will earn you an alternate assignment for one or more subsequent labs. • Grades: All grades will be on a point basis. Some assignments are worth more points as they require more work. If a paper comes in without a name, it is placed on the front wall under the whiteboard. Grading Scale: A= 90 to 100% B= 80 to 89% C= 70 to 79% D= 60 to 69% F= 0 to 59% • Homework: Because Science is inquiry based and hands on, there is not regular nightly homework. Homework is usually given 2 to 3 times a week. Please remember to check the assignment board everyday to make sure that you are not missing any assignment due dates, or test days!! All classwork and homework is also updated weekly on my website, it is your responsibility to make sure you are staying on track. • Late work: If you must turn in an assignment late, (and unexcused) there will be up to a 50% deduction of points on that assignment. You will need to sign in your late work and put it into the absent/late work basket. It is your responsibility.

14. Class syllabus part 2 • Cheating Policy: My definition- Not doing the work yourself, using your words and ideas! You should be able to rephrase what you read/ wrote and explain it to me! If you’re caught cheating on a homework assignment/Test/Quiz is taken away and you will receive a 0%. Parent will be notified. • Classroom essentials: You are required to have a composition notebook with graph paper to be used only for Science. You are also expected to have a place in a binder for Science and working pen or pencil at all times. Throughout the year, I may ask for you to bring in items to be used for different labs and activities. • Cell phone/e-readers/electronic devices: Refer to BYOT policies. Electronic devices are used for educational purposes only. • Textbooks: There are textbooks used for each unit. Each student will have their consumable book.

Please, only one student at a time! • Restroom Usage: You are not allowed to use the restroom during tests, quizzes, or while I am giving instructions.
