SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDENTS
1. Avoid absences. The number one reason for failure is attendance.
2. Put your name on all assignments and remember to hand them in.
3. Study for tests. Come in for tutoring before tests. Pay attention
to classroom reviews. If you miss a test, come in after school and take
it. Tests are 40%. Labs are 40 %. Daily work is 20%.
4. Do not bring headphones, food or drink into the classroom. They are
distractions
and hazards and prohibited in science classrooms.
5. Take care of any visual problems and medication issues so they don't
interfere with your learning.
6. Use Northside's
Science TAKS Review website for review of concepts prior to the
TAKS test.
7. Avoid chronic discipline issues and tardies. They prevent getting
the grades you need for passing Science.
