REQUIREMENTS
You will need to have a pencil, paper and a pair of safety glasses at all times. A lock and locker will be issued to you to store these in along with smaller projects you are working on. You will be required to pay a $20.00 materials fee at the office and bring the receipt to me. Part of your grade will be to participate and clean up each day.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Cell phones, IPODS or other electronic devices are not to be displayed or used in the classroom or Labs. These will be allowed at certain times but only with teacher permission. Ear buds, head phones, etc. are against school policy and will be taken from you.

LOCKS AND LOCKERS
You will be responsible for the lock and locker that will be issued to you. Please keep your lock locked at all times to eliminate the loss of your materials and lock. If you lose the lock you will be fined $10.00 to pay for it.

MAKE-UP
All work missed due to an absence is required to be made-up. You will have 5 days from the due date to turn the assignment in.  Please ask for work missed the day you come back to school. If you cannot make up the work in the time allowed ask for more time. Time made up for lab work can be done before school.

REDO
If the work was previously turned in and you would like to try to improve the score, you will have until the end of the eighth week of the term to do this. Also you may redo the assignment as many times as you would like.

GRADING
You will be graded on both classroom work and lab work. Classroom work will be graded the same as other classrooms in the school and lab work will be graded on lab participation and clean-up.

CITIZENSHIP
Citizenship grades will be based on the students willingness to adherence to the rules, the effort and attitude displayed in class and being on time each day. All students will begin with an H (the highest score).  The citizenship score will be adjusted, if needed, based on students efforts.  

EXTRA CREDIT
If you are not tardy the entire term a 5% increase in your grade will be given.  Other opportunities will be available for extra credit as well.
