What if I am late turning in an assignment?
LATE WORK – All work will be accepted for full credit up to 5
days before the current grading quarter ends. (Parent contacts
will be made and possible non-school times will be arranged to
complete work after any work is more than 3 days late.) After
the 5 day deadline prior to the end of the quarter, all
uncompleted work will receive a failing grade.
What if I am not satisfied with the grade I earned on an assignment or lab?
REDO ASSIGNMENTS – All work may be attempted as many times as you
desire for full credit. New copies of sheets are available in
the “Extras” folder. Be sure it is turned in before the 5 day
deadline.
What if I am not satisfied with the grade I earned on a test or quiz?
RETAKE TESTS OR QUIZZES – Quizzes and tests will be announced.
There will be reviews of materials covered the day before a
test. You are encouraged to study. Generally students who
participate and work hard in class are successful on science
tests and quizzes. Notes and previous assignments will
occasionally be allowed during tests and quizzes, so be sure to
have your notebook up to date. Have your notebook and folder
with you at test time. Arrangements with Mrs. Lister and your
parents will need to be made to schedule a retake of
a quiz or test during non-school time. This will need to be done
within 2 weeks of the original testing date.
Projects?
Projects are a fun way to learn. You will need to be
prepared to work on them in class as well as at home.
Many are group projects. YOU have a responsibility to
your group to do the parts you have committed to do.
WHAT IF I NEED HELP?
PLEASE ASK ☺ I am available most days before school or see me
and we can arrange a time. E-mail has worked well in some situations!
WHAT DO I DO IF I AM ABSENT
MAKE UP WORK – If you are absent it is your responsibility to get
assignments and make up the missed work. You can get assignments
from this web site at 6th grade agenda, see me or a classmate.
All work is to be turned into the basket by the door.
DO I HAVE TO HAVE A COMPUTER, INTERNET OR PRINTER AT HOME FOR SCIENCE?
NO! Arrangements will ALWAYS be made for those who do not have
computers etc. at home. If a problem arrises PLEASE let me know
and we will take care of it.
