Science Fair • Every spring each student in the 7th and 8th science class will submit a project for the Science Fair. • Outside judges will come and assess the projects and there will be prizes as well as grades given on these projects. • They will be on display for Open House.
Absentee Make-Up Policy • Students who miss school because of illness can have their guardian call the school and request assignment information. • If you know that you will be missing school because of some other reason, please let me know ahead of time so that I can get the work together for you. • Students going on a family trip must notify the school no later than one week before the trip, or it will be recorded as an unexcused absence. • The number of days absent determines when the make-up work is due. (Example—absent 2 days—homework is due two days after returning back to school). All make-up work must be turned in before the student takes the chapter test. • No absent work will be accepted after the test is taken.
Grading • Students will receive 10 points for every homework assignment that is completed properly. • The answers must be written in the form of complete sentences. • Quizzes will be worth 20 points each. • Tests are worth 100 points each. • The student’s grade is a percentage based on points earned divided by points possible. Long term projects points will vary therefore will be announced at the time that they are assigned. • Ask me about “Engrade”!
