Welcome to Nichols Middle School, and to my Science class. You are extremely fortunate to be in the best school in Joshua!

o Failed tests can be made up within one week of first test (max retake score on a test is 70% (passing)
o Missing work can be turned in late but it will drop 10 points for each day it’s late.
Absences:
In the event that you are absent, it is your responsibility to ask for any missed assignments. I keep extra copies of our assignments upon return back to school in my “Make-up Folder”, with the missing assignment that will have your name on it. However many days you have missed from school, you will have that many days to make up your work.
Most of our work is done in class, however if you do not finish the assignment in class it is your responsibility to turn it in, completed, by the next school day. The grade of the assignment will drop by 10 points each day after the due date.
