Physics, Chemistry, and Environmental Science
Welcome!
Expectations:
• Be focused! Be studious! (you will see the benefits of these)
• Make your parents proud of your academic accomplishments; they are working hard to send you to AHHS
• Give others reasons to speak good about you
• Be respectful of others, if you want others to be respectful of you
•
Classroom rules
• You must be in class before the bell (signals the beginning of class) rings. If you arrive after, you are considered as being late.
• fnYou must sit in your assigned seats. Do not shift or exchange desks.
• No talking is allowed between students in class , unless it is a group activity (e.g. labs)
• You must raise your hand, if you need attention from the teacher. DO NOT SPEAK OUT WITHOUT PERMISSION.
• No student is allowed to leave the classroom to go to the bathroom( unless it is a dire emergency )
• No student is allowed leave the classroom to go to a locker , or to another classroom
• Do not write on the walls or desks, and do not litter the floor
• Chewing gum is not allowed in class
• You are required to bring all required materials to class and to have ready at the beginning of class, e.g. textbook, notebook, pen, pencil, calculator
• If you are absent for a test, you must inform the teacher, and take a makeup test within 2 days of resuming classes (I will schedule the day and time for the makeup). There is no makeup for quizzes, or for a bad test grade
