The GeneralChemistry Student-Parent Agreement (2016-17)

To the Student:

  • I have read and understand the course syllabus for grades and my behavior in Chemistry class.
  • I understand that my actions and my grade are my responsibility. I recognize that I must be focused and work hard in order to achieve success in chemistry. This is the hallmark of academic maturity.
  • I understand that it is very important to be in class. If I am absent, it is my responsibility to immediately seek and complete all make-up work. Make-up opportunities are held for only a short period of time.
  • I understand that the extensive safety instruction provided by my chemistry teacher constitutes the “Verbal Warning” step in the TCHS Discipline Procedure, and that any subsequent behavior of mine that violates safety will be dealt with by parental notification and/or administrative referral.
  • I understand that if I miss a lab, there will be an assigned time to make-up that lab or I will receive a zero for that assignment. It is my responsibility to find out and comply with the make-up schedule.
  • I am aware that when tutoring opportunities are made available I must take the initiative to seek help.
  • I understand that I will not receive credit for work or quiz questions missed due to an unexcused tardy.
    I risklosing course credit, per LEUSD policy, if my absences (of any type) exceed 18 in a semester.
  • I will NOT bring any food, drink (includes water), or gum into the chemistry classroom.
  • I understand that personal electronic device (cell phone, iPod, etc.) use in the classroom is a distraction and leads to lower grades. It is a direct violation of school district policy. I will NOT use any electronic device (cell phone, iPod, etc.) while in the chemistry classroom. If I violate this rule, my device will be confiscated and held/returned per school policy. There will be NO exceptions.
