Be prepared. Study the assigned exercise before you come to lab. Clarify instructions and safety protocols before starting lab exercise. Being familiar with the lab exercise prevents confusion and accidents. No unauthorized experiments are to be performed. Students must follow the procedural instructions in the lab handout/manual unless modifications to the procedures have been announced by the laboratory professor, in which case the student must follow the professor’s procedural instructions.
Be prepared. Being prepared leads to successful experiences with the school learning environment. Skills and habits you develop at this time will help you to be prepared for future success in high school and the world of work. MATERIALS Students are required to come to class each day with the necessary supplies to be ready to learn. Supply lists can be found on the STMS website. Elective and PE classes have additional materials/fees that can be paid to the school bookkeeper. HOMEWORK AND ASSIGNMENTS Homework assignments are extremely important, and are essential practice for developing understanding and ability. On average, students should expect about 10 min per grade level each day, though it will fluctuate throughout the year. Homework and assignments are expected to be completed to the best of each student’s ability and on time. Successful students have regular routines of practice and preparation every day and are good habits to develop for future independence. Students who struggle with work completion will be directed to additional time and support to ensure that the proper practice is completed. In the event of excused absences, the student will have one day for each day missed to complete and submit the work. To assist students with gathering homework practice after an absence, each teacher will maintain a SWIFT website that can be accessed through the building’s webpage. Some SWIFT sites will list the homework that was given each day in class. There are two ways to get accompanying handouts or worksheets, by electronic form on the teacher’s website or as a hardcopy in the classroom. If the student does not have access to a computer, please call (000)000-0000 to request homework for two or more days of absences. Opportunities are provided to help you with your homework: Teachers often provide work time in class and can answer questions and support learning immediately. Thursdays during STRETCH period (8:00-8:45) is WIN Time (what I need) and a time for teachers to request students who are struggling back to their class for additional support and instruction on the learning of the day. Homework Center is offered Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays until 3:55 p.m. Students can receive additional assistance on homework and assignments on these days. The locations of homework center each week are made during daily student announcements. LUNCH TIME STMS operates four lunch periods Monday through Thursday and three on Fridays.
