Students are given a calendar at the beginning of each unit. It will include learning objectives, activities, homework assignments and test/quiz dates for the unit. It is the student's responsibility to be familiar with the dates for assignments and tests/quizzes. If a student is absent the day before a test/quiz, and no new material is covered in class, the student will be expected to take the test/quiz on the scheduled date. 

Students will be expected to complete daily assignments in class from Lab Packets for each unit. The work that the student does not complete in class is expected to be completed as homework. Some lab work will be collected for a grade.

Make-up times are scheduled on Tuesdays. Tests and quizzes will be made up on the Tuesday following an absence. Students are required to make up all work missed due to excused absences. Students with an unexcused absence will receive a zero. It is the student's responsibility to keep up with what needs to be made up. 

The course grade will be based on the average of two grading periods and the final exam. A student's grade will be based on tests and unit assessments (75%), and on daily work/homework and quizzes (25%). Quizzes will be weighted more than daily work in the 25% category.

Teachers can be contacted to discuss individual student's work by phoning 469.752.9300 or by email.

Progress reports will be sent home at the three-week period of each grading period. 

In addition to lab packets, each student will need to have the following supplies:

• Paper
• Non-programmable calculator
• Pens and pencils
• Box of tissues
