Classroom Management/Science Safety Plan

Throughout the school year, your child will be involved in conducting

classroom science projects and labs. Along with course material conveyed through
lecture, PowerPoint, and textbook reading, students will be required to engage in
hands on science related task throughout the semester. With this type of learning
being new to many students, there are ground rules that must be present in the
classroom. The following rules and guidelines must be reviewed, signed and
returned by both the student and parent/guardian. Students will not be allowed to
participate in any classwork until this document has been signed and returned.
1. All lab related activities are a privilege. Abuse of these privileges will result in
removal from lab activities.
2. Students involved in classroom labs must closely follow directions given on
that particular day.
3. All lab materials must remain in the classroom unless instructed otherwise.
4. Participation points are given for student consistent participation in group lab
activities. If a student does not participate in a given activity that student will
receive a zero for the day.
5. Students are at no time given permission to consume any lab materials.
6. When instructed to do so, students must wear safety equipment (eye glass
goggles, apron, etc.).
7. All rule violations are evaluated and monitored by the teacher. Final say and
punishment will be handed down by the teacher and/or the principle.
I look forward to having your child in class this year! Any questions feel free to
