NOTEBOOK Divider Tabs: Activating Strategies, Notes, Practice Work, Assessments, Rubrics/Labs ~~Please bring the items listed daily. You will not be excused to retrieve items from your locker.~~ Assignments:

 All assignments are expected to have the following information in the upper, right hand corner of the paper (Failure to follow this format will result in a 10% deduction from the final assignment grade) 1. Name (first & last name) 2. Submission date 3. Subject with class period 4. Assignment title/description

 All regular classwork and homework assignments must be completed in ink. Pencil is only acceptable when recording data for labs, doing mathematical based assignments, sketching for observations, and 4 completing assessments. (Failure to follow this format will result in a 10% deduction from the final assignment grade)

Grading Policy: It is the student’s and parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to make arrangements for make-up work due to absences. These arrangements should be made before or after school and should not disrupt instructional time.  Home-work turned in late will be assessed at a 50% penalty. -assignments that are not IN CLASS during the correct class period AND at the EXACT time of collection are considered late. Late assignments are collected twice a month: 1st and 15th. The Highest point possible to be received will be 50 (before grading). Late assignments are only taken during the month they were originally assigned.  Lab makeup due to an absence will have to be done within a week of the original date on the day determined by the teacher. If there is a scheduling conflict, an alternate assignment will be given. A student who can not participate in lab due to improper conduct or lab attire will receive a 0 for participation in that lab. An alternate assignment worth 75% of the original lab will be due the next day in class. Failure to have the alternative assignment will result in a 0 for the final lab grade.  Projects will be docked 25% per day late for a maximum of 2 days. Projects not submitted before the 2 day window expires, will NOT be accepted. The Nine Month Miracle project is docked 45% if late and will not be accepted more than 1 day after the original due date. Because project deadlines are given well in advance, the due dates are the last day the project is on time. It may be turned in early, but late projects for any reason are considered late and will be docked.  Test makeup is to be done the day of return after the absence. Test analysis and discussion is done in the class and reassessment is done for those who need it using GPS Mastery Learning Instrument. Please keep in mind the following:  Absences due to suspension from school are considered unexcused.  Students are allowed to make up work while suspended from school if there is a pending disciplinary hearing.  The number of days to make-up work will not exceed the number of days the student is absent with an excuse as per Henry County rules.

Laboratory Safety: A separate Lab Safety Contract will be provided for review and signature by both student and parent. It must be signed and returned before you can participate in lab. Failure to adhere by the safety requirements during a lab will result in not being able to participate in the lab and possible receipt of a grade of ZERO for that lab.
