Additional Finals Information

Third Quarter Triumphs • Quality genetic disorder and meiosis projects! • Strengthened relationships • Fantastic pace and teacher-teacher communication on deadlines • Coverage of many topics • Personal Development • Respectful

Forth Quarter Changes 1. Turn assignments in on time! No late work will be accepted unless accompanied by a excused absence note. 2. Attendance policy: 3 UE tardies = Detention, 5 UE tadies = Detention with VP. Call home for each unexcused absence. You must be in I 203 in order to be counted as present. If you have an excused absence you must pick up and complete the work within 1 class*. 3. Electronics Policy: Put away all electronics prior to entering the class. Distractions will be given to the VP

Fourth Quarter Changes 1. New desks! Now everyone can sit at a desk. No assigned seats; however, only 4 people are permitted per table. First come first served so come early to get the seat you want 2. New In/Out trays 3. Portfolio storage: You can now store your portfolios on the shelf at your own discretion 4. New Sign-out procedures. 5. Preparation. Bring out your notebook and pen at the beginning of each class, write in your planars/phones. 6. Be mindful of due dates!
