Please visit this site to get information about what is going on in class each week, frequently used rubrics/websites, and updates on future quiz/test/due dates.

Important note=information on this site is subject to change, and may not exactly match class activities. Instructions given by individual teachers in the classroo/ always take precedence.

classroom procedures 2009-2010.doc

Safety procedures for Biology:

ALL biology students must pass a safety quiz earning a 90% or better to participate in lab activities. After passing the safety quiz, they must sign a safety contract and have it signed by a parent or guardian and retun it to school. If the safety contract is not signed by student and parent and returned to school, the student will not be able to participate in lab activities until it is. Students will receive a score of zero on any lab activities they are not allowed to participate in until the safety contract is returned. Please print another safety contract below, sign it and return it to school if not done already! The FINAL deadline for turning in the contract is 10/9/09.

Students and parents are encouraged to frequently check progress on Power School to look for missing assignments or work that was not turned in. Please see the Bacon Academy Guidance Office for more information about how to access Power School.
