It is expected that all students will follow these rules daily.
|S |Participate actively and courteously in class. |

Assessment Details
Work will be assessed in 4 categories: Tests, Quizzes, Labs and Homework
• Tests will be given at the end of each Unit.
• Quizzes will be given throughout a unit to help monitor student progress towards each chapters overarching objectives. You will be able to drop 1 quiz grade for every 6 that are recorded.
• Labs since this is a lab based course students are expected to complete lab appropriate activities. This could be in the form of lab worksheets or formal lab reports.
• Classwork will be given for students to practice with recently learned content and to complete other group activities.
• Homework will be given on a nightly basis.
• Study time is based on individual needs and practices.
Grading Policy
60% - Tests
30% - Quizzes/Labs
10%- Homework/Classwork
Late and Makeup Work Policy
• If the absence is approved in advance and/or if the work is assigned by the teacher in advance, all make-up work, including tests assigned for the day of return, is due upon the student's return to school.
• If the make-up work has not been assigned in advance, for absences of one (1) to three (3) days, the student will have one day for each day absent. For absences exceeding three (3) days, the student may have two (2) days for each day absent to make up work. Special consideration will be given in the case of extended absences due to injury or chronic illness.
• The Chemistry PLT will accept late work up until 1 week before the quarter ends.
Attendance
• Daily attendance is vital to success in chemistry. Chemistry students are successful when they accept responsibility for their learning. When absent, students should check their calendars for assignments, obtain class notes, and check answers to homework problems with a classmate. The student must make an effort to learn the missed material on his/her own. Missing one class can prevent a student from being able to understand and/or participate in the next day activities.
• Students who are not present for lab forfeit participation in the lab activity but are expected to obtain the data from their lab partners and complete the post lab assignment.
Tutoring
• After school help is available if the student is struggling with any material. See after school tutoring schedule.
• When a student needs help from the teacher, he/she must come with notes and specific questions.
Class Materials
• Graphing or scientific calculator.
• 3 ring binder
• Loose leaf notebook paper
• Pencils or pens (blue, black, and red)
• Lab (composition) notebook
