7. If Your Student Needs Help
Encourage students to ask questions in class.
Call me over during class to look at work.
I am available before, and after school several days per week.
Students should see me to make an appointment and come prepared with questions or specific homework or classwork problems
Lions Time
Have them me questions if they get home at night and are stuck on a problem

8. Homework I will give written homework several times per week
I may grade every problem or I may only select a few from the assignment.
Homework should take approx min.
Students should take time to review notes and work sheets if there is no written homework

9. Lab Work We will work in lab numerous times during each semester.
Students must wear goggles, and close toed shoes, in lab at all times.
Your student’s safety is my first priority when we work in lab.

Your student has a condition/situation that will require extra support in the classroom
You have a family member (or friend) serving overseas.
