GUIDELINES FOR Gr. 7 SCIENCE CLASS. NAME_________________

1.) Be prepared. Bring pen/pencil, book, homework, folder and notebook.
2.) After entering the room go directly to your seat. Do not touch any displays. 
3.) Homework Counts!

* Save all science materials. Keep all completed work, notes, tests, quirks, labs, 
   and handouts in a folder which will be graded at the end of each quarter.
* All assignments must be handed in when due to receive full credit. The
   parent/guardian should write a note to explain any extenuating circumstances.
* Late Homework:
                        - Work turned in after the start of class will start at 70% up
               until the following day.
- Work turned in two days late will start at 50%.
- Missing Work not completed within 2 days will result in a 0 grade.
* One make-up day per day of excused absence will be allowed. Assignments sent
   home for an absence will be due when the student returns.
* Some students who have special accommodations may have extra time. 

4.) Raise your hand and wait to be called on before speaking.
