Performing laboratories safely is the responsibility of all concerned - administrators, teachers, parents and most importantly, students. A key component of Chemistry and Physics is teaching students how to complete laboratory exercises safely and effectively. Each year, before the first lab session, the safety procedures and contract for the laboratory are reviewed by the class. Students and their parents must sign the safety contract before a student may begin work in the lab. As a reference, students are required to maintain a copy of their safety contract in their laboratory journal. Safety issues pertinent to each specific lab will be discussed by the class prior to performing the experiment.  Students in Chemistry and Physics may expect test and quiz questions on laboratory and safety procedures throughout the school year.
