Classroom Expectations:

Students are expected to be on their seat and ready when the bell rings. Any student not in the room when the bell rings will be considered tardy.
Students should not stand at the door in anticipation of the dismissal bell.
The laboratory room must be clean at the end of the period before leaving.
Show respects toward all member sof the class.
Follow directions the first time given.
School attendance, tardy policies, and academic dishonestry will be enforced.

Assignments/Tests/ Quizzes
Daily assignments can be expected and must be submitted by the due date.
Students are responsible for any missed materials on the days of absences. Make up assignments due to an excused absence will be accepted no later than 3days after the student returns to class.
Missing scheduled make-up lab, quiz, and test without notification will result in a zero credit.
Zero credit will be given to all works (assignments, quizzes, and test) due to an unexcused absence.
During testing (quiz/test) students are expected to not to talk, leave their seat, and have unauthorized study materials. Any violation of these rules result to grade of zero and a phone call home
Student is required to keep and update Chemistry Grade Record Sheet.
