Respect Everyone: Treat your classmates, teacher, and all staff with kindness and respect. Listen actively when others are speaking, and avoid interrupting or making negative comments. Creating a safe and inclusive atmosphere promotes effective learning.
Be Prepared: Come to class on time with all necessary materials, including textbooks, notebooks, pens, and completed assignments. Being prepared demonstrates responsibility and ensures that you're ready to engage in the day's activities.
Follow Lab Safety Rules: During experiments or practical activities, adhere to all safety guidelines provided by the teacher. Wear appropriate safety gear, handle equipment responsibly, and follow instructions carefully. Prioritizing safety ensures a secure and productive learning environment.
Homework and Deadlines: Complete and submit assignments on time. If you're having trouble with an assignment, seek help early on. Late submissions can hinder your learning progress and create unnecessary stress. Time management and meeting deadlines are valuable life skills. 10 points will be deducted from your assignment grade for each school day that the assignment hasn't been turned in past the due date.
Raise your hand before speaking, do not leave your seat without permission: Science can be a difficult subject so it's important that everyone has the opportunity to hear and be heard. It's also important to limit movement around the classroom as this can lead to distractions and discipline issues.
