The notebooks will be divided into five sections: Bell work, Notes, Assignments, Projects/labs and Tests and quizzes. Please label your dividers in this order. Students are expected to be prepared for class with their notebooks everyday. The notebook will be graded through out the year, and materials in the notebook will be valuable in studying for tests. Other materials may be needed to complete specific projects and assignments for the class. Students must turn in one package of index cards.
