Guidelines for Science
with Mrs. Andrews-Wojtczak
Students will..
*Be on time for class.
*Come to class daily with their Science notebook and homework.
*Immediately start their “Warm Up” upon entering class.
*Participate in all class activities in a mature fashion.
*Update their notebook, stapling papers and maintaining the table of contents.
*Attend study sessions on Tuesday or Thursday afternoons with Mrs. Andrews-Wojtczak if they need a little help.
*Be responsible for passing in makeup work and scheduling makeup quizzes/tests with Mrs. Andrews-Wojtczak if they are absent.
(The best time is at the end of class )
*Be responsible for checking the website frequently for homework assignments, updated table of contents, power point presentations from class, study guides and or other fun things I find. (If you do not have internet access at home please let me know and I will find a computer for you to use in school.)
*Think!!!!
I promise I will not always give you the answer. I will challenge you to think for yourself, develop a hypothesis, and find your own answer.
Grading:
Tests 50%, Quizzes 40%, Homework 10%
Homework will be passed on a point system.
The expectation is that homework will be done, completed and brought to class when assigned.
At times homework assignments prepare the student for Lab, if the student has not completed the assignment they will then have to complete the assignment during class and schedule a time after school to make up the lab.
At random homework assignments maybe collected as a quiz grade.
Notebook:
Our notebook is designed to help the students learn various ways of organization. If a student needs help keeping their notebook up to date they may see Mrs. Andrews-Wojtczak at the end of class or after school. It is recommended that students update the Table of Contents weekly and look in the “Extra Paper” tray if they are missing any work.
Notebooks will be collected and graded as a quiz various times throughout the year.
Extra help is available Tuesday and Thursdays after school!
Retakes:
*Students will be allowed to retake one test or quiz grade below 70% per class per trimester, within five days of the test or quiz being passed back.
*You must make an appointment with Mrs. A&W at least the day before by signing up in the sign up book under the homework log.
*Retake grade will replace the first grade.
Extra Help Days: Tuesday and Thursdays
(Subject to change...or modification)
*See Mrs. Andrews-Wojtczak with any questions.
