(Notebook, pen/pencil) 2.Do not drink or eat during science class. 3.Respect school property and the property of others. 4.Are courteous & raise your hand to contribute to the class 5.Are responsible for their own learning. 6.Profanity is a…. No no!!!! 7.Follow ALL lab safety rules. Students are expected to be able to follow these rules without intervention on my part.

19. Re-Test Policy: If a student fails a test, the student is allowed to retest. The students will have a total of 5 days to retest once the test is given back. They are required to come in twice, the first is for tutoring and the second is the retest. The retest covers all of the same material, but it is not the same test. They have to work for the better grade. The maximum grade they will receive is a 70. Tutoring Schedule: Mon. & Wed. before school 8:00 Tues. & Thurs. after school until 4:45.
