Assignments Due at the beginning of class. If you finish early, I will gladly hold onto the assignment for you until it is due. On the due date, your assignment will be placed on your desk number before you start the bell work. Someone will collect them or an NTI form while you work on the bell work.

NTI work form (not turned in) This is for students who do not have the assigned work to turn in. Fill it out Sign and date it Turn it in with the homework papers If your neighbor is absent, I will ask you to fill out an absent NTI form for them. Where is that lab?!?!?

After an absence . . . . . . . Place any work in the “Late Work” basket Check the board for what we did yesterday Check the website for bell work or if you were out more then one day Retrieve any handouts from the grey cabinet

Bathroom / Locker Pass One person leaves at a time. Take the bathroom pass with you. Please let me know as you leave at the time on your pass. Do NOT go to the vending machines

Back to the lab. . . . . Check hypothesis Go over graph Calculate slope Compare slopes DUE NO LATER THAN THE BEGINNING OF CLASS TOMORROW If you finish today, turn it into the EARLY WORK basket 

Finish Classwork Early? “What do I do next?” Work on your puzzle Finish up any practice problems you haven’t completed Work on the review sheet Help your neighbor

Scheduled check out Please let me know as you enter the classroom. Please let me know as you leave at the time on your pass.

Guidelines to Success in Physics: Be in your seat working on the bell assignment when the tardy bell rings. Listen to and follow directions the first time they are given. Come to class prepared - don’t forget your calculator. Treat each person in this room with respect and dignity. Follow all procedures and policies as outlined in the Gwinnett county and Lanier High School handbooks.
