Your first assignment is to print up and read the class rules (http://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/mjvl/lazaroff/rules.htm).  You, and your parent(s)/guardian(s) need to fill out and sign the form on the last page, and cut it off at the dotted line.  The rules may seem lengthy, but that is due to the templates included, as well as the explanations I have included.  A list of supplies you will need is also included.  Keep the rest of the class rules in your binder.

As stated in the class rules, be sure to fill out the online personal information form (http://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/mjvl/lazaroff/contact.htm).  Don't worry . . . it's not that personal!

Every lab-based course requires great care with materials in order to maintain a safe environment.  As such, you will need to print up two copies of the Lab Safety Agreement (http://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/mjvl/lazaroff/lab_safety_agreement.doc).  First read the Lab Safety Letter from our Principal, Mr. John Dodig, and our Science Department Chair, Dr. Harry Rosvally (http://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/mjvl/science/lab_safety_letter.doc).  Then, please read both pages of the Lab Safety Agreement (http://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/mjvl/lazaroff/lab_safety_agreement.doc), sign (and have a parent/guardian sign it) and return one copy to me.  Please keep the other copy in your binder for reference.
