6th Grade Science Class Syllabus
Ms. Henderson
Entering the classroom:
Wait to be greeted before entering the classroom.
If the classroom door is locked, please line up in a quiet single file until I unlock and open the classroom.
Take out needed supplies, sharpen your pencils, and sit in your assigned seat.
Begin your bell work immediately and silently.
If you are tardy:
You are late if you are not inside the classroom when the bell rings.
Go to AP office to receive a tardy pass.
Enter very quietly so you don’t interrupt the lesson.
Place your pass on my desk and join the class activities.
If you need to talk to me, see me after class or at an appropriate time.
If you are absent:
Missed work and assignments can be found in the designated area marked MAKE UP WORK.
It is your responsibility to get the work and complete any work that you have missed.
You have one day for each day you were absent to make up your assignments.
If you missed a test, you will take the test the day you return.
If you know ahead of time that you will be absent, please let me know, so I can give you the work you will miss.
