Blue Team Rules

1. Be prepared to work every day

If you are late to class, you get an automatic detention unless you have a punch pass available.

2. Be respectful at all times

When working on something independently, silence is expected.

3. No food or drink is allowed in the classrooms

Homework

Homework will be given throughout the year for practice and extension of the curriculum.

Late Homework Policy:

Homework turned one day after due date or later will be eligible for half credit. Late homework will be accepted until the test/assessment has been given.

Learning Target

You will be able to find out the learning target for the day by reading the objective on the dry erase board at the front of the room.

Today we will understand the rules and expectations of 8th grade science by

having a class discussion.
