What I Expect from You

Southside High School

Leslie Freeman

Course: Pre-AP Chemistry

Lab Fee: $30.00

What I Expect From You:

1.  Daily Attendance

2.  Follow Classroom Rules

3.  Bring Materials to Class

What You Will Need For This Class

1.  Calculator

2.  3 Ring Binder (NO Composite Notebooks Should Be Used For This Class)

3.  College-Rule Paper

Things To Remember:

1.  Students cannot afford to be absent in an AP class.

2.  Make up work will be available upon request.

3.  Assignments and labs are due on due date.

Tutoring:

Tutoring will be made available on Tuesdays and Thursday from three till four. If this schedule does not work for you or you need some immediate help, please come talk to me during a time that is convenient to me. Do not interrupt my classes.

Student Center:
At the back of the room I have a student center. There is where all students will turn in assignments. This is also where they will get things I handed out on a day they were absent. There are items such as a stapler and a hole punch that the students may use at any time. My desk is completely off limits to students. Students are to take care of items made available to them or the items will no longer be made available. Students must ask permission to leave their seats to visit the student center unless they have special instructions such as turning in a test when they are through.
