Classroom Management Plan
8th Grade Science
Attendance
Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class. Students are expected to come to class on time and be ready to begin class.
Students who have been absent will be expected to make up any assignments. It is the responsibility of the student to come to me and get any work that has been missed. Should you be absent from class you must see me on your own time-not class time on the day you return to find out what you missed while absent. Work due the day of your absence will be expected upon your return. Extended assignments, such as projects, which are given future “due date” will not be accepted late due to your absence. In this case you must make arrangements to get the assignments work to me before the end of the school day.
Homework
Homework will be assigned nightly. It is your responsibility to complete all work assigned and in the time allotted. Any homework not completed or presented at the required time will not receive credit (i.e.: “It’s in my locker”, “I forgot my book and it’s in my book”, “I did the wrong assignment”, etc.).
Grading
Your grade for science will be derived from tests, quizzes, homework and binder checks (Lab work and projects will count as test grades). Quizzes will be announced and unannounced. A quiz is usually based on previous day’s work or homework. A test is based upon the entire chapter. Tests are always announced in advanced.
Tests 40% of term grade
Quizzes 20% of term grade
Labs/Projects 20% of term grade
Homework 10% of term grade
In Class assignments 10% of term grade
