A very important aspect of science is that of laboratory experimentation. Each and every student will be responsible for the entire scope of each lab experiment regardless of his or her role in the experiment itself. Labs can not be made up. Labs will always be scheduled on a block day, so plan doctor appointments accordingly
Brain
Teasers:
At the start of each period there will be a
prompt to get you started for the day. Please come into the class prepared to
accomplish this task. You are expected to be in your seats working on this once
the tardy bell rings.
Clovis Highs Tardy Policy will be enforced. You must enter the classroom in a respectful
manner BEFORE the bell rings or you
are TARDY.
Housekeeping:
The following housekeeping items have been
implemented to make our day run more smoothly:
*Two manila folders (Monday-Thursday) contain
all of the current week's worksheets and handouts, if you are absent go to
these folders first. Do not ask me for these items unless you have looked there
first.
*Current student grades will be posted every
Friday or Monday. Please look at the grade printout on the wall if you want to
know your current grade. If you need to
speak to me regarding your grade you must schedule a time before or after
school to discuss your grade.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FIND ACCESS TO
THE INTERNET. ALL OF THE INFORMATION YOU NEED CAN BE FOUND IN AN UPDATED FORMAT
ONLINE!!!!!!! THE INTERNET IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!
*All homework assignments are numbered. The
numbers correspond to a particular assignment. Please look on the assignment
sheet if you have questions regarding makeup assignments due to absences.
*You will periodically receive a calendar that
will give you a somewhat accurate forecast of future quiz's, exams &/or
labs. You should always note schedule
changes on this calendar as they arise, nothing is written in stone.
