BellworkO Bell work is where you answer 5
questions that are found on the board.
HomeworkO Homework is also written on the board
everyday. Homework should be written down in your agenda at the beginning of each class after you have finished your bell work. In math class, your nightly homework will be to review what you did that day in class. You are not allowed to make up homework unless you have an excused absence. Homework can also be found on my class website.
QuizzesO Quizzes will be given at the end of each standard learned
or about every four classes. Quizzes will contain information learned during the week and can be prepared for by looking over all homework, class work, and notes completed during the week. Quizzes can be multiple choice, matching, drawing, short essay, and demonstration. There may also be information from previous chapters to make sure you have retained the information. You may do quiz corrections after you have received your quiz grade. If you are caught copying from another student’s quiz then you will no longer be allowed to do test corrections instead you will have to retake the test in a different version. I feel that you have should learn from your mistakes, not simply copy from another student’s paper.
ProjectsO Projects will be assigned for each
unit of science. Rubrics and more information for each project will be given at the start of each project. You will be given at least a month to complete your project. All rubrics and guidelines will be found on my website.
Classroom Procedures:
Before You EnterO Make sure you have gone to the
restroom because you will not be allowed to go the first 10 minutes of class.

Other Things You Need to Know
Missing WorkO You must come see me as soon as
you return to school to get your missed work. You are allowed one day for everyday that you were absent plus one day to get your work turned in.
Missing HomeworkO If you do not turn in homework and
you were not absent the day it was assigned, it results in a zero. Homework must be present and completed when asked for at the beginning of class.
Attendance PolicyO In accordance with South Carolina
state law, students may miss a total of 7 regular class meetings (lawful or unlawful) before they may be denied credit for a course. Students must attend 45 minutes of a 90 minute class to be counted present.
O This is based on the requirement of 120 hours for course credit. The school will communicate to students and parents if a student has attendance issues.
TardyO Being tardy means to be delayed
beyond proper or expected time. Students may be tardy to school or to individual classes. Tardiness will be monitored and recorded daily. Excessive tardiness will results in disciplinary action, and an extended tardy may count as an absence. Students missing more than 50% of a class period will be counted as absent.

questions if necessary.O Set aside a regular time for studying.O Find a quiet, well-lit study area.O Work on homework independently whenever
