Chemistry Mr. Lynn

• Most notes in this class will be given on
  PowerPoint, if you are having trouble reading
  this MOVE!!!!
• Sit where you would like, but I am assigning a
  seating chart today so I can learn your names.
• That means you are not going to be able to move
  for a bit.

Rules and Discipline

• I will always treat you as adults unless you act
  like children, then you will be treated as such.
• Standard punishments- 1st warnings, then
  detentions, then a call home, finally referrals.
  Some actions can warrant severe penalty without a
  warning or detention.

6
Things I really hate

• Belligerence (attempting to start a fight) will
  not be tolerated in this classroom.
• No one will congregate at the door waiting for
  the bell to ring, or congregate in the doorway
  before class starts.
• You will be in class and in your seat when the
  bell stops ringing, otherwise you are tardy.

7
Summing up

• Anything not covered in these rules will be ruled
  by common sense! You know what you are not
  supposed to do, so dont do it.
• All rules still apply if a substitute teacher is
  in class!!

Policies

• Detentions will be served in my classroom, room
  144, from 230 to 300. You may either serve it
  the evening after I give it to you, or the next
  evening.
• Tardiness- If the bell stops ringing and you are
  not in the classroom, you are tardy, even if it
  is by 1 second. No Exceptions! First two times
  you get a warning, the third time you get a
  detention, every other time you get a detention.

Electronics

• Phones are NOT allowed to be used ever,
  especially during tests (even as a calculator).
• There are instances where you may listen to an
  MP3 player/iPod.
• You may NOT use an electronic device if I am
  giving instruction.
• You may NOT use an electronic device if you put
  your homework away to do later, you may use it if
  you are working on your homework quietly.

More Electronics

• You may NOT use an electronic device during a lab
  (it is a safety hazard).
• Using an electronic device when you are not
  allowed means it will be confiscated and handed
  to the principal.
• You can always ask if you are allowed or not.
• Laser pointers, noise makers or ANYTHING
  distracting to the rest of the class is never
  allowed.

Lab Music

• I play music during labs.
• If you dont like it ask me, I will turn it off.
• If you want me to turn it up ask me, I will turn
  it off.
• If you want me to ask me, I will turn it off.
• No, I wont play your iPod.
• If one student asks 3 times to turn it off it
  stays off all year

12
More Policies

• If you have to be removed from class you will
  automatically lose 10 points from your grade. 
• Late homework- you may turn things in one day
  late and receive 50 credit, two days late is
  25, Nothing may be turned in later than two
  days.

13
Make up assignments for absences

• Anything completed on an unexcused absence will
  count as a zero.
• It is your responsibility to get notes and any
  assignments you miss, I am not responsible for
  reminding you.
• You will have the number of days you were absent
  to make up an assignment. If you miss only the
  day of the test, you will make it up the day you
  come back!

14
Cheating

• All parties involved will receive a zero on
  whatever they were working on.
• This includes someone who is finished with their
  paper or test and allows someone to copy, or
  attempts to give an answer to someone even if
  their paper is already turned in!
• This also includes coping someones homework or
  in class assignment, not just tests.
