- ABSENCES: There are no make-up labs. If absent for a lab, you will not receive credit for the lab – which means no points are lost or gained. You are responsible for any missed concepts/classwork when you are absent. Check Schoology and my website. Email me or see me about missed work at lunch or after school.
“B”: Beanbags, Backpacks, (lab)Books, Bathroom, Behavior:

- The Dolphin Way: Be Safe, Be Respectful. Be Responsible
- Lab books: You must write in PENCIL ONLY. Be prepared to learn every day.
- Bathroom: You will receive 2 bathroom passes per trimester. This can also be used to get water, but once you use them up, that’s it for the trimester. Use the bathroom at breaks/lunch or passing periods.
- Backpacks: place them in the back, under your table or under your chair - not in the aisle!
