INFORMATION AND POLICIES FOR SEVENTH GRADE LIFE SCIENCE:  Mrs. Schaefer

Students are expected to:

1. Be on time for class and to come with appropriate materials for class:  science binder

   and black binder with agenda, pens, pencils and homework folder.

2. Be safe by using care at all times.  That means follow all directions and consider others

   in the classroom.  Please remember the safety contract signed by student and parent(s).

3. Be responsible and set goals:  Plan ahead and don’t make excuses when work is not

   completed on time.  ALL WORK IS EXPECTED IN ON TIME.  That includes labs,

   homework, projects, etc.  See late work information below for more details.

Homework

 Students are expected to study their notes daily. Additionally, written homework will be assigned. Check the website to make sure that your agenda is accurate.
Any homework that is not turned in on time but that is handed in by the end of the week it was assigned will be half credit.

Extra Help:

Do not hesitate to ask for extra help.  I am available periods 6 and 9 or by appointment periods 3, 4, before and after school. Additionally, I will stay after for homework club on Wednesdays.  Students with an average of D or F are required to attend but all are welcome.

Grades:

Your grade is determined by calculating the number of points you earn out of the number of points possible.  About half of the grade is from testing scores and the other half from homework, labs, and projects. Please do not hesitate to check the parent portal for updated grades and averages.

 Test corrections:

Because accidents happen, you will have a chance to do test corrections once every quarter. These test corrections will give you the opportunity to raise your test grade up to a C-.
