Sign, Date, and Return Other Side
 Notebooks: You will organize your notebook by unit
following the class Table of Contents. All work will go
into your notebook. This becomes your textbook.
Expect me to occasionally grade your notebook and
bellwork.

Academic Honesty: I expect you to have integrity.

Plagiarism and cheating will result in a 0.

Practice / Homework: Homework is practice. Not completing homework will negatively affect
your understanding of the material. Late assignments are accepted, but will be recorded as late
and will not be as beneficial to you. I expect you to make mistakes and this is the perfect place
to make mistakes! Extra Credit is rarely available to the entire class. The amount of extra credit
given will not be significant enough to offset poor performance on labs and tests.

Test Retakes: Students may retake unit tests. Prior to retaking a test, the student must submit
all unit work and a completed retake form. Test retakes must occur within two weeks of the
original test date. Retakes are available during Advisory or tutoring.

Late Work / Makeup Policy: Plan to make up labs during tutoring or

Advisory. Labs must be made up within two weeks. Late work is accepted
until the final unit test retake date. Students are responsible for his/her own
makeup work. If you know you will be gone, get your work.

Lab Safety: All students will complete a lab safety unit, quiz and form prior to being
allowed to participate in lab activities. A guardian must sign the lab safety form.
