Key: WB=Work Book HW=Homework CW=Classwork

Procedures:

Classwork and Homework is collected almost every other Friday as a packet. Be sure to NEATLY staple all pages in order and turn in your packet to your period's blue bin. It is important that you do your best on your classwork and homework. Full credit is awarded to all students who demonstrate hard work and effort. I always deduct points for anything left blank. I rarely take deductions for wrong answers (it is obvious to me if you truly tried your best). If you are absent, it is your responsibility to make up the missed work. You have the number of absent days to make up the work and submit it directly to the tray on my teacher desk by the following day (for example, if you were absent two days, Thursday and Friday, you must turn in your packet for full credit by Wednesday). Unexcused late assignments will be deducted 30% of the earned points; this can ruin your grade!

Science Journals are due at the end of every other week (typically Friday). Science journals are turned in to your period’s drawer on Friday. You must write 1/2 page based on the topic (listed on the front board) each day. If you are absent, you must ask a classmate what the topic was and make up this day. If you are absent on a Friday, you must submit your journal for full credit the following week.

Projects often have special requirements and are usually turned in separately from classwork and homework packets. See the project page for special instructions regarding each project.

Participation is counted as an assignment but not listed here. You are given 100 points each day in the Citizenship category for consistent, active, and positive participation. These are the easiest points to earn by coming to class every day, on time, following classroom rules, and participating with a good attitude. You lose 50 points each for tardiness (severe tardy - over 3 minutes - loses all 100 points), not working within 60 seconds of class starting, off-task, and rule breaking. Severe disruption, disrespect, unsafe behavior will result in an automatic loss of all daily points and immediate school discipline (see school discipline policy). NO POINTS ARE AWARDED IF YOU ARE ABSENT. Losing points if you are absent once or twice during the quarter will not hurt your academic grade and citizenship grade. If you are sick or have an excused absence for more than two days and this category is affecting your overall grade, please see me before or after school to discuss makeup opportunities for participation points lost to multiple day absences.
