Science is a hands-on laboratory class. Students
will be doing many laboratory activities which
require the use of chemicals. Safety in the science
classroom is the #1 priority for students,
teachers, and parents. To ensure a safe science
classroom, a list of rules has been developed and
provided to you. These rules must be followed at
all times.

I have a no tolerance for inappropriate behavior

The second time it occurs the student will be
asked to stand in the hall until the activity is
complete
