ü LATE WORK / UNEXCUSED ABSENCE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
Ø Students have the same number of days to make up missed work as the number of excused absence days.
ü I understand that the science dept. has a "zero tolerance" policy on cheating.
ü I understand that cell phones are not allowed out during class time, and that cell phones will be confiscated & given to grade-level principal if used during class. Plus, having a cell phone out during a quiz will result in a "zero" for that quiz. Please follow district policy regarding this: even if it is important and it is your mom calling.

I have read the syllabus and I understand my responsibilities for this class and that no late work will be accepted without proof of an excused absence.
