Ready, Set, Let’s Go !
Welcome to your 6th Grade Classroom for Science! This course will focus four core areas of science; Physical Science (PS), Life Sciences (LS), Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) and the Engineering, Technology and Application of Science (ETS). We will explore the value of science in our lives by investigating real-world scenarios.
There will be challenging concepts throughout the year, but we will work together as a team to get through each concept and develop them to proficient understanding, connecting them to science and everyday situation. By being positive, putting in the effort and working hard everyday, you WILL excel in this class. I am always here to lead, guide and help you along the way.

Classroom Policies
Homework
Homework will be assigned occasionally. Unless otherwise instructed, homework is due the
next day at the start of class. It is your responsibility to keep up with and turn in your homework.
Turning in Assignments
For every assignment, make sure the following are on it:
Late Work
Late work will not be accepted after five days from the original date of the assignment. Assignments
are due at the end of class or expected to be turned in at the beginning of class the next day. Late
assignments are subject to a point reduction per day (max 5). After the 5th day, late work will no
longer be accepted.
Absent Work
Absent work will follow the KiMS and district policy. For each day, the student is absent, they have that
many days to make up the work. Students are responsible for collecting their absentee work, which
can be retrieved from the classroom filing system for each day that you were not present.
You are responsible for retrieving any missed notes from the class notes and from Google Classroom.
Any tests/quizzes missed will be made up the following day. Work that is missing will receive a
zero in the gradebook for that assignment until it has been submitted. Late work will be graded as soon
as I am able to get to it.
Cheating/Talking During Assessments
There will be ZERO tolerance for cheating or talking during assessments. If caught talking during
an assessment it will be considered cheating.
Attendance/ Tardy Policy
Attendance is important and is directly related to your success in this class. To be successful,
students need to be in attendance and on time to each class each day. Students are responsible
for all the work that they miss. It is hard to make up class instruction.
Tardy 2 times = Warning
Tardy 3 times = Student Conference & Parent Contact
Tardy 4 times = Office Referral
Computers
Computers will be used daily in this class. It is the students responsibility to to ensure that his/her
laptop is fully charged and ready to use for class. Please remember it is your responsibility to keep up
with all assigned technology. Computers should ONLY be used for school work, NO GAMING.
