Scooping Up Science Skills (August-Early January)
Its Alive (January- March)
May the Force Be With You (March-April)
Earth Changes: Shake, Rattle, and Roll (April – June)

• If you are absent the day of a test/quiz (notified about test/quiz prior to absence), you must take the test/quiz the next school day. (This refers to one-day absences, field trips, etc).
• The only “exceptions” are if we discussed alternative plans or you have been absent for several days.
• If the test/quiz is not made up as outlined above, you will receive a zero on the test/quiz.

• If you are absent on the day of a lab, you must discuss plans with Mrs. Tracey to make-up the lab.  This should be done in a very timely fashion so you do not fall behind in the concepts presented in-class.  Usually, you will be given two opportunities (before school, occasionally during lunch, or after-school), which depend on the lab set-up to complete what you missed.  Please remember that when you miss a lab, I have to re-prep the lab for you and this is why you will only have two opportunities to make up the lab.
• If you do not make-up the lab as outlined, you will receive a zero on the lab assignment.
