Science Class Expectations – Read Carefully!

Be Prepared and On Time:

• Always come to class on time and ready to work.

• Bring the following every single day:

  • Science binder or notebook/folder

  • Blue or black pen and a pencil

  • Any classwork or homework that’s due

  • A fully charged Chromebook

  • A pair of headphones or earbuds (you’ll need them for Chromebook activities with sound)

Before Class Starts:

• Line up in the hallway and wait quietly until your teacher invites you in.

• When you enter the classroom:

  1. Go directly to your assigned seat.

  2. Look at the board and begin the Do Now silently and independently.

⚠️ The first 5 minutes of class are critical. No one should be:

• Asking for water

• Asking to go to the bathroom

• Asking to go to your locker or anywhere else

• Talking to friends

• Distracting others in any way
  This is when attendance is taken and important directions are given. If you miss them, you might miss the whole lesson.

Class Materials & Worksheets:

• You will receive one copy of each worksheet.

• If you lose it, you are responsible for printing a new one from OnCourse Classroom.

Classroom Rules – All About RESPECT:

✅ Respect Yourself
Make good choices and always try your best.

✅ Respect Others
Raise your hand to speak, listen when others are talking, and treat everyone kindly.

✅ Respect the Learning Environment
Keep the classroom clean and organized.
Stay in your seat unless you have permission to get up.
Always behave in a safe and focused way.

✅ Respect Your Work
Your work represents you—do your best!
If something is hard, let your teacher know right away.

✅ Respect School Property
Follow all school and district rules. Handle Chromebooks and all materials with care.

✅ Raise Your Hand
If you have a question or something to say, raise your hand and wait to be called on.

✅ Come Prepared
Bring all required materials, including your charged Chromebook, homework, writing tools, and headphones.
No extra locker trips will be allowed if you forget something!

What Happens if You Break the Rules:

1st time – Verbal warning
2nd time – Parent/guardian contact
3rd time or more – Write-up and office referral
Serious behavior may result in an immediate referral.

Tardies:
Be on time!
If you're late to class 5 times, you will receive a detention (district policy).

Follow these expectations, and we’ll have an awesome year in science!
