Chemistry

RULES (!)

  1. I expect all to show respect for each other (ESLR Character). This means that no bickering, bagging, bothering, or other forms of disrespect will be tolerated and may result in a detention. (This includes bagging on my tunes! J)
  1. When I, the teacher, am talking to the whole class, I expect your total and undivided attention. If you have a question, please raise your hand and wait to be called upon.
  2. It is impossible to multitask in chemistry. Do not chat when you are supposed to be doing class work. (Character – personal responsibility)
  1. Do not bring any food, drink, or gum into the classroom/lab. This will be strictly enforced. Violations of dress code will result in a dean’s detention. Class time is not the time to adjust/apply cosmetics. This is especially true in the lab
  1. Use the restrooms before or after class only. Use of the restroom is allowed only in cases of true need. Also no one will be excused for medicine, etc. without a written note from parents and doctor.
  1. Tardies, as stated in the Parent/Student Handbook, are given for not being in the classroom and on task at the beginning of class, when the bell begins to ring. For the purposes of this class, on task means being seated at your assigned place. If you are not in the class and seated, you will be sent out for a tardy, no exceptions. Stay in your seat unless you have specific permission to leave it.
  1. Class time is valuable. Use the time wisely by maintaining your focus and appropriately engaging yourself in the task at hand.
  2. Return all desks/chairs/stools to normal at the end of each period. Stools, when not in use, belong under the lab table. You are responsible for the condition of your place and will be held accountable. Look for any trash left behind, doodles, scratches, etc. and report them immediately. (Character – personal responsibility, Community - faithful stewards)
  1. Bring all required materials and especially a good attitude and a smile.
  2. Follow all rules for the use of the lab and lab equipment.

I promise to abide by all the stated rules and procedures of this class:
