If
Academic Honesty It is expected that any work completed in this class is a product of your own
mind and effort. If you give another student answers to a question or take answers from another student, it
is cheating. Cheating will result in negative consequences for ALL parties involved.

Homework

up with your homework. You will not be given extra copies. Not completing the homework will affect your
learning and your grade. Your parents will be notified if this becomes a problem.
Projects
Projects are assigned throughout the year, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned in a
creative way. Typically, you can expect to complete one major project per semester. Most projects are to be
completed at home, but occasionally class time may be given.

Extra Help
If you need extra help, speak to me as soon as possible so we can set a time either
before or after school. I will usually offer tutoring on Wednesdays 3:30-4:30
if you need extra help or want to make-up an assignment.
Conference Time
My planning/conference times are 9:00-10:00 Tues.-Thurs. Parents and students, should feel free to contact
me by email or phone if you have questions or concerns. You may also email or call me after school if
needed.
Class Website
We will have a class website where most copies of assignments, homework and presentations can be found.
It will also include class pictures and links for parents and students that I hope will be interesting and useful.
The web address is http://mrshookerscience.weebly.com This can also be accessed from the Paredes
website.
Conclusion
I want you to be successful in science. I encourage you to participate in class and ask questions when you do not
understand. I am looking forward to a very exciting and productive year.
