CLASS RULES AND EXPECTATIONS
Rules
Prepared
Respectful
Responsible
On Time
Safe
In other words:
· Leave your seat only with permission
· When the bell rings, sit quietly, eyes on teacher
· Touch only those things you have permission to touch
· Keep your hands and negative comments to yourself
· Be respectful by not interrupting others’ right to learn or teacher’s right to teach
Class Supplies
Required Supplies:
* Pencils
* Highlighters (2)
* Colored pencils
* Black, Blue AND Red Pens
* Spiral Bound Notebooks (2)
* Reading Material (book)
* Other: If an assignment requires a textbook, the students will use a classroom set. If they need to check out a book to complete an assignment, they may do so from the library.
Cell Phones
Camelot teachers permit the use of technology to enhance learning. Sixth graders who would like to have their electronics must use them appropriately.
****See School Wide Policy
Absence Policy
It is the student's responsibility to find out what they missed in class when they were absent.
1. Check with another student in the class or the class calendar (Today in Science)
2. Check absent work file or binder, or get file from the website.
3. If you have questions, ask your teacher
Tardy Policy
Students who are not in the door when the bell rings are counted as tardy. A tardy will result with a -2 on their citizenship points. Two exceptions: 1. a valid excuse and note from a teacher/administrator/parent. 2. In the event of a school wide tardy sweep, points will not be taken (if the student presents a note from the hall monitor).
Class Equipment
In the classroom, the students will be expected to be respectful of school/ other person's property. The workroom and all cupboards and drawers are off limits unless otherwise directed from the teacher. Any project supplies and work left in the classroom is at the student's own risk. Students are to follow all lab safety rules and school rules in the classroom. The sinks in the classroom are to be used for experimental purposes and are not to be used without permission (i.e. drinks during instruction time). All other supplies used for labs and demonstrations fall under the same rules. Mistreatment of school property, see school wide disclosure.
CLASS WORK INFORMATION
Skyward
I put the grades on as soon as I can. Please be patient. Here is what the following symbols mean.
(*) A star means that NO ONE's grades have been entered yet.
(0) A zero means that either the students did VERY poorly on the assignment or that it is is missing for whatever reason (even if they were absent).
As per school wide disclosure, Skyward will be closed to late work one week before the end of the quarter.
Knowing What's Happening and Homework Policy
Check out the Today in Science feature on my website. You can find out what we did in class today, the starter questions you missed, assignment pdf files if you have lost your assignment, what is coming up, what supplies will be needed, etc. Grading/Late Policy/Absent work/End of Quarter Policy/ Citizenship/Class Consequences for misbehavior/Referrals/Missing Work. Please see the school wide disclosure. Find graded homework in your class file.
What Homework to Expect

Science Fair Project
Planet Project
Moon Phase Project
Missing/Absent Work
A lot (but not all) of the worksheets handed out in class can be printed from this website. Look at the attached articles on the assignment page. Losing Homework: If you lose your assignments, most of the time you can find a pdf of that assignment on the assignment page. Download the pdf, print it out, and complete the assignment again. If you do not have a printer, you can use the school library's computers.
Missing Interactive Science Notes
If you miss class notes, you can either get the notes you miss from a fellow student in your class, or you can get it from the teacher. Office hours are M, Th, 7:20-7:40am and 3:00-3:20pm by appointment only.
Tests
No Retakes. Test Corrections optional with conditions.
No-Name Policy
Papers with no name on them will be counted as late. No-name papers can be found on the "no-name basket" in my classroom. All no name papers will be discarded one week before the end of the quarter (the last day to turn in late work).
Starters
STARTERS MUST BE MADE UP WHEN YOU ARE ABSENT. See starter questions webpage for daily starter.
Students are given the first 5/10 minutes in class to complete this assignment. Each starter is 10 points per day/ 50 points for the week.
Current Events
Current Events are due every two weeks. The article being discussed needs to be included with the form to get full credit. Forms can be found in my classroom and also in the forms section of this website.
Science Fair Projects
Science Fair projects are required this year. More information will be coming our closer to October. Please check back during that time.
