Daily work is graded and recorded in the grade book once. All tests and quizzes are recorded twice in
the grade book. At times, note cards will be allowed to use for tests.
Science Starters: A power point program that will help us review various Science topics. This will help
us to prepare for TAKS test. There will be questions from the program that will be assigned and graded each 6
weeks.
SRA Readers: Each student will be required to complete a series of independent readings and
summaries each six weeks. (This is at your own pace however; a certain number will be required each six
weeks.)
Your Responsibilities:
 Be Respectful to others.
 My name is Mr. Smith or Coach Smith please use the title.

prepared for class.
 Read assignment on board.
 If I can’t read the name or the information on the paper you WILL get to do the paper
over.
 Keep up with class work when you are absent. Turn homework in ON TIME.
 Your green lab book will help you with notes and studying for tests if you will fill it out. On
occasion I will check these for a grade.
 NO HORSEPLAY!! Especially on lab days!! This could result in a “0” for a lab grade or
removal from the lab. Points will be deducted from conduct grade on report card.
 Keep the room clean, safe and orderly. Clean your own messes. The entire lab group is
responsible for clean up. If this takes after the dismissal bell, NO TARDY EXCUSES unless it
is the teachers’ fault you are after the bell.
