Lost or Forgotten Assignments If you lose or forget your assignment: Before class, go to my teacher website and print another copy of the assignment –The library is open before school so you can print another copy.

Folder Work Each 9 weeks, students will be given a packet of worksheets to review skills from previous years. Students are to work on the packet when they finish regular class work. At progress time (4.5 weeks), students should have the 3 pages complete. Each side of a paper is considered a page. A grade will be given on completion of those pages. The entire packet is due by the end of the 9 weeks. It stays in the classroom, until 2 weeks prior to due date. It can then be taken home to complete.

Checking out books The books on the brown bookcase may be checked out by students. Students will need to fill out the checkout sheet on the side of the bookcase.

Sciencesaurus/Textbooks Students will not be issued textbooks this school year. Students will be able to use a book with an assigned number throughout the year. –The book with your assigned number is the book you are to use.

Restroom Breaks We will take restroom breaks during the science block. You may go to the restroom at another time with teacher permission but try to wait until the class restroom break. Students will line up by the appropriate restroom and go in 3 at a time. Any student not using the restroom will line up in front of the lockers across from the restrooms.
