Classroom rules for Mrs. Biswell

 

            1.  All Homework will be due the on the assigned date, any late assignment will end up with an academic detention and half credit will be issued for the assignment.. You will be allowed one oops per quarter

 

            2.  If a student is not dressed appropriately for the lab they will need to go to the Principle’s office for that period.  They will receive a zero for the lab, and will not have the ability to turn in the homework that is associated with the lab.  They are responsible for any test questions that might be associated with that lab.

 

            3.  If a student misbehaves in the lab, they will be sent to the Principle’s office with a detention.  They also will receive a zero on the lab, and they will lose the ability to turn in the homework that is associated with the lab.  In addition, the student will lose out on participating in the next lab experience, plus any points associated with that lab.  Students will still be responsible to know any of the information from the lab since the information will appear on the next assessment

.

            4.  Misbehavior with in the classroom will be dealt with in accordance to the handbook rules.

The class room rules are posted on the class room wall.

 

Homework Policy

 

            1.  All Assignments will be posted on the West Prairie web site.

 

            2.  Assignments will be turned in on the day that they are due.

 

            3.  Assignments for science will be written in to the science notebook, and will be neatly completed.  All science notes are to be written into the science notebook.  In order for you to receive full credit for the assignment the work must be in your 3 ring science binder.  If the assignment is not in the proper place the highest grade received for the assignment will be 80%.

 

            4.  Science assignments are worth half of the class grade.  Each of the assignments are worth 100 % points.  All of the homework for a chapter or unit will be averaged to achieve a homework score.  This score will be averaged with the test that assesses  the unit.  The average of the homework and the test will create a unit grade.  The cumulative grade in the class is an average of all unit grades.  At the end of the semester, the semester test is worth 10 % of the semester grade in accordance to the handbook policy. 

 

            5. TEST SCORES WILL NOT BE ENTERED ON TO A STUDENTS GRADE UNTIL THE STUDENT HAS RECEIVED 70% OR BETTER ON THE TEST.  If the student does not pass the test, written corrections will be required before a retake will be allowed.

 

            6.  Literature assignments are worth a maximum of 20 points and literature tests are worth a maximum of 50 points.  The points for the grades will be kept as a running total in order to calculate the class average

 homework.
