Welcome to Ms Harnik's Science 9
Please make use of flexible learning time to catch up or seek additional help. If you have your own laptop or chrome book and/or cell phone, it will be useful as we have limited access to computers.
SHOW UP ON TIME: The first few minutes of class are very important. They set the tone for the entire lesson. Nothing is more disruptive than a stream of students drifting in late and interrupting the lesson. Besides if you are late you may miss a check for understanding. These count for marks and are posted at the beginning of class to check your understanding of material covered in previous classes.
If you are late, enter the classroom quickly and quietly and take your seat. All "lates" are recorded.
After your third unexcused late, I will be calling home.
DO NOT MISS CLASSES: Attending classes regularly will ensure you do not miss important concepts. Even if you are not feeling the greatest, you will learn more than if you are absent.
If you know that you will be absent make sure that you inform me beforehand. If you do miss a class it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to get any notes or assignments that you missed. I suggest that you take the phone numbers or contact information of several people who live near you so that you may call and ask about the day’s proceedings . These people should be counted on to collect any handouts for you. Following these suggestions will prevent you from falling too far behind.
Note: YOU ARE EXPECTED TO COMPLETE EVERY ASSIGNMENT WHETHER YOU ARE HERE OR NOT!
COMPLETING ASSIGNMENTS: ALL Assignments are due at the BEGINNING of the class. LATE assignments are permitted and will be collected but you must meet with your teacher to discuss expectations. All work must be neat and completed to the BEST of your ability. Copying another student’s work is considered PLAGERISM.
BE A PURPOSEFUL LEARNER: At all times be on task and participate in the lesson. Behave in a mature and cooperative way using every minute of class time effectively. Remember that it is your teacher who dismisses you not the bell.
MATERIALS: The tools necessary for this course are two pens (one red and one blue or black), a pencil with eraser, 3 ring binder with ample supply of notepaper, Textbook, a ruler, and a scientific calculator (not a cell phone).
EXTRA HELP: If you would like to see me for extra help, you can often find me in room 141 after school or a lunch by appointment. If you are struggling the responsibility is YOURS to get on track. I am also available during flex time in room 141.
CHEATING: Students are expected to complete their own work on an individual basis unless otherwise stated by the teachers. Any student who plagiarizes the work of another - either in test situations or on major assignments will face disciplinary action. This may range from receiving a zero on an assignment or test to disciplinary action by the administration. (Note: the work of “another” includes that of students or any published work such as books, CD-ROM, Internet and periodicals).
