Classroom Policies & Procedures
• Grading policy
All grades are given a point total. Students will be given a grade sheet in the beginning of every quarter. Students can calculate their grade by dividing their points by the total points possible.
Quizzes = 15%
Tests/ Projects = 35%
Labs = 35%
Homework/Classwork = 15%
Quizzes & Tests: All quizzes and tests must be signed and returned. Failure to do so will result in a stamp in the assignment tablet. (See consequences for missing work.)
Quizzes may be kept to study for the test. Tests will be kept by me in a file in the classroom. You may schedule a visit to review your tests throughout the quarter.
Labs: You will keep a lab composition book in the classroom for lab assignments.

Homework
Consequences for missing or incomplete work: If you do not have your homework, I will stamp your assignment book. If you do not have the assignment book in class either, you will be staying in at recess. After three stamps in your assignment book over the course of the quarter, you will stay in at recess to catch up on missed work. If behavior continues, we may have to schedule a parent/teacher conference.
