3) Tests and quizzes as announced.

5) According to the NY State Dept. of Science Education, ALL students must complete a minimum of 1200 minutes of laboratory work and submit the corresponding laboratory reports in order to be eligible to take the Regents Exam. Attendance will be strictly enforced.
General Class Rules:
1. Be prompt - You are expected to be to class on time.
2. Be prepared- You are expected to bring your textbook, notebook, and a pen or pencil to class every class day. It will be your responsibility to keep all worksheets, notes, test, quizzes and other classroom materials in a well organized manner. There have been studies that show students who are well organized tend to do better in their studies then students who are not organized.
3. Be polite- You are expected to treat others, as you would like to be treated. Also remain seated until I dismiss you, even if the bell has rung. I may need to finish saying something important. Eating, drinking, combing hair , putting on makeup or using a cell phone or an iPod/MP3 player are not allowed in the classroom or lab room.
4. A class is an area of communication, therefore I will listen when you have a comment or question, and I expect you to be equally attentive when I am speaking.
5. You will be assigned a seat and I would like you to remain in that seat. If the seating arrangement is not satisfactory to you, I hold the final say in where you sit.
6. I DO NOT give lavatory or locker passes unless there is a documented medical reason to use the lavatory. Come to class prepared.
7. Field Trips- you make your own choice if you are going or not. You WILL be responsible for all missed work and have the same deadlines as the people who did not go on the field trip. Makesure you have me sign your form before you leave. DO NOT interupt class to get this done. Before or after class is a good time.
