Mrs. Burton’s Biology Class

 

 

Hello!

 

In Biology, we will be learning about living things, how they function, and their environment.  Biology is an EOC course, which means that every student will be required to take an End Of Course test that will serve as a final exam.  This is a fast paced course, so students must keep up to date.  Below are guidelines for this course.

 

Tips for Success:

1.      Read the textbook!

2.      Review the notes for each day when you get home from school.  This will help you remember them.

3.      Ask questions in class.  If you don’t understand something, stop me.  Don’t leave the class unsure about things.

4.      Stop by after school for help when you need it. 

 

 

Make-Up Work:

Make-up work is the student’s responsibility!  You must keep up with your assignments.  Check the calendar in the classroom to see what you missed. Make-up work is to be completed within one week of the absence.  In extreme circumstances, exceptions may be made.  Thursdays are the after school make-up day for the Science department.  Missed tests and quizzes may be made up then.

 

Bathroom Policy:

Students may use the restroom during class.  I ask that you wait until you are doing individual work so that you do not miss important information.  Students will not be permitted to use the restroom for the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes of each class.  If you know you have to go, use the restroom during class change.  If restroom breaks become excessive, you may loose your privilege.

 

Extra Credit:

No extra credit assignments will be offered.

 

 

Notebook:

Each student is required to keep a 3-ring binder for Biology only.  You’ll get more information on this later.  The sections are:

            Notes

            Assignments

            Vocabulary

 

Rules:

1.      Obey all school rules.

2.      Follow all teacher instructions.

3.      Be in your seat when the bell rings.

4.      Bring materials to class.

5.      No food, drink, gum, or candy.

6.      Be respectful.

 

Consequences:

1.      Warning

2.      After school detention (15 minutes) and parent contact

3.      Control Room

 

Course Fee:  $5.00 per student

I look forward to the semester together!
