Class and Lab Handouts which need to be kept in either a Science folder or binder.
ALL TESTS AND PROJECTS NEED TO BE SIGNED AND RETURNED. FAILURE TO RETURN RESULTS IN AN ABSENCE OF HOMEWORK.
THESE TESTS ARE KEPT IN YOUR CHILD"S PORTFOLIO AND CAN BE REQUESTED DURING PARENT / TEACHER CONFERENCES.
Test will be announced one week before the testing date.
I do give essay choices as a homework assignment prior to the test and we review them.
All homework is expected on time. Student with late assignments will serve lunch detention. If there is a reason students cannot complete their assignments, a note from parents will give students an additional days grace.
Any parent with any concerns or are interested in signing up for a Parent / Teacher Conference can contact me at bbrandel@stchris-school.org
