Science Class Policies

Mr. Szekely

  • We emphasize the necessary skills for success in school throughout the entire school year.  These policies and guidelines are created to help students be responsible and organized as well as to establish a disruption-free learning environment.

  • Each day in science class, we begin class by writing our assignments in the agenda issued to each student. 

  • Students are expected to use a folder, a small binder, an accordion file or a divider in their main binder to organize their science materials.  Students are instructed to keep their materials until we finish the current chapter and the chapter test has been returned.

The Four P’s  - Our Class Policies

 

  • Prompt - Be at your desk/table and prepared for class when class begins.  Students will be marked tardy when this policy is not followed.  Three tardies will result in a detention.

  • Prepared - Be prepared for class with pencils, pens, paper, textbooks, assignments and your agenda book.

  • Polite - Treat everyone with respect and courtesy.  Use polite and appropriate words, actions and tones when communicating with students and adults. 

  • Productive - Use class time constructively by actively participating in all class activities, listening, following directions and completing ALL assignments.

Supplies Needed Each Day In Science Class:

Pencils     Pens (blue or black, red; no gel pens or other colors of ink)

Notebook paper     Calculator      Ruler       Highlighter(s)

 

Supplies Needed Periodically (may be kept in your locker):

Assignment Policies

1.  Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period, unless other instructions are given in advance.

2.  Write legibly, in pencil or pen (blue or black ink only).  No colored or gel pens will be allowed.

3.  Include a proper heading on all assignments.  Proper heading includes first and last name, date, period and title of the assignment.

4.  For excused absences, student will be allowed a reasonable amount of time to make up missed assignments (2 days for every day of excused absence).              

5.  When student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to check the assignment file for missed work and discuss the missed assignment(s) with Mr. Szekely.

 6.  Assignments must be at least 75% complete or they will not be accepted as being completed on time.

 7.  Late work will be accepted NO MORE THAN TWO DAYS LATE and will receive half credit; work submitted past that time will receive NO credit (work not turned in at the time it’s requested in class is considered late; work turned in late due to an excused absence will be given full credit, provided it is turned in on the amended due date).

Progress Reports

Progress reports will be mailed home to parents/guardians at the halfway point of each of the four quarters. These reports will be mailed from the Liberty Middle School office. We ask that parents/guardians provide us with an e-mail address and phone number so that we may communicate with you whenever necessary to keep you informed of your child’s progress.
