The HOMEWORK POLICY for Science is as follows:

Absent day the lesson was assigned- student will have 2 days after he/she returns to get full credit

MRS. REIFENHEISER’S RULES FOR SUCCESS!
1. Always be prepared for class. Bring your binder, pens, paper, hw, agenda and book with you to class every day.
2. When the bell rings you should be in your assigned seat, working on the DO NOW, with your hw out to be checked. There should be NO TALKING at this time.
3. TAKE NEAT AND COMPLETE NOTES. If it is on the board, it should be copied into your notes section. Your success will depend on how well you develop this skill.
4. In the event that you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what you have missed. Missed worksheets with your name on them will be located in the class folder on the bulletin board.
5. Do not forget your homework. It is a critical part of the learning process and can have a great impact on your grade.
6. BE KIND AND PATIENT TO ONE ANOTHER. MAKE SENSIBLE CHOICES. RESPECT THE RULES AND EACH OTHER. LET’S HAVE FUN!
