6th Grade Science Syllabus / Ms. Clack
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
I am pleased to be your child’s 6th grade science teacher for the 2023-2024 school year. This is my 16th year teaching science at Bernheim Middle School. I am looking forward to working with your child and I know with your help that we can make this a great year for everyone especially for the students.
Materials that students will need for my class:
1. Two pocket folder
2. Loose leaf paper
3. Spiral notebook to keep as a science journal
4. Pencils (enough for the entire school year)
5. Colored pencils or colored markers
6. Chromebook (bring to class every day/also must be charged)
Grades will be based upon points from tests, quizzes, labs, projects, science journal, participation and class work. 60% of their grade will be based upon class work, science journal, participation and labs. The other 40% will be based upon tests, quizzes and projects. Students will be given a study guide for their tests at least 3 days prior to testing. If a student scores below 60% on a test they will be required to retake their test until they receive a passing grade.
Students will be given ample time to finish their work during class but if they waste time in class they may have homework. Any work turned in late will be marked off 5 points per day. If a student is absent it is their responsibility to ask for their make up work. They will be given one day for every day they are absent to make up the missing assignments.
The grading scale is as follows:
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
D = 60-69
Bernheim Middle utilizes a positive behavior program which includes the student expectations at school as well as in the classroom. It is the student’s responsibility to learn and observe these expectations every day. Below is a list of the student behavior to follow in my classroom.
The Bruin Way
1-Be Responsible!
2-Be Respectful!
3-Be Safe!
4-Be Here!
It is the student’s job to follow the student expectations to the best of their ability. All students are responsible for knowing and observing these rules. Violation of these rules shall resort in disciplinary action. Any one or a combination of the following actions may be used, not necessarily in the order listed:
1. Teacher warning
2. Seat movement
3. Team Citation
4. Parent contact
5. Cafeteria Isolation (lunch detention)
6. Office Referral (Bruin Report)
7. Before or After-School Detention
8. Teacher/Student Conference
9. Parent Conference
10. In School Alternative Program (ISAP)
Please email me or call with any questions or concerns. My email address is [email protected] and Bernheim’s phone number is 502-869-4000.
Thank You,
