Mr. Smith’s Science Class Expectations and Policies
Welcome Back! I look forward to having you in class this year!
GRADING
1. Grades are earned on the following basis and grading scale:
90-100% A
80-89% B
70-79% C
60-69% D
59% and below F
2. Scholastic Dishonesty: Cheating will not be allowed! Talking during tests and quizzes will be considered cheating. Plagiarism (the use of another individual's work as your own) or collaboration on individual projects is cheating. Scholastic dishonesty will be recorded as a zero in the grade book.
3. All Student work must be turned in on time. IF I choose to accept late work there will be a penalty.
4. Make-up work: Students will be given the opportunity to make-up schoolwork for excused absences. Students are responsible for getting their make-up work.
5. Students need to be on time to class.
6. Have your materials everyday.
7. Follow the Golden Rule; be respectful of your peers, adults, and equipment. If it does not belong to you, leave it alone.
8. All assignments are to have the following heading printed in a legible manner in the upper right hand corner of the paper unless otherwise specified.

10. Consequences for rule violations in my class:
1st step: Redirection
