Violation of any lab rules or any other safety procedure will result in immediate removal from the lab and a grade of zero will be given. Repeated offenses will result in parent contacts, discipline referrals, and possible removal from lab.
MAKE-UP WORK
It is the student’s responsibility to retrieve the work missed the day or days of their absence from the teacher’s webpage (online). An unexcused absence will result in the student receiving a zero (no credit) for a class grade on all class work, lab, homework or test due on the day missed. Missed labs, with an excused absence, must be made up within one week of returning to class, if the lab can be held beyond the lab day. If the lab can not be left beyond the lab day, the student will write a two page, double spaced informational essay about the subject the lab covered, using 2 references(please see teacher for subject of essay). Labs must be made up after school and it is the student’s responsibility to schedule the make-up lab with the teacher. When handing in make-up assignments, the student must write at the top of the assignment “MAKE-UP WORK” and include all information on the top right corner- including the textbook page and question numbers.
