THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE CONSEQUENCE FROM ADMINISTRATION!  YOUR PHONE WILL ALSO BE CONFISCATED AND TURNED INTO THE OFFICE. INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE FOR SCHOOL - Automatic detention - no warnings!

2. Be in seat and ready when the bell rings, you will lose 5 points of class participation each time you are late and not in your seat when the bell rings.  In addition to losing points, if you are late three times without a pass from the teacher you had the previous period, you will be assigned detention and a referral will be written.

5. Students will be allowed 3 bathroom/locker passes for the year. Each time you use one over the allotted three you will need to make 42 minutes up at lunch/recess.

9. Keep your hands on your own computers.

10. One person at a time leaves the room with a bathroom/locker/hall pass.

11. Use polite and appropriate language! Offensive, derogatory, and profane terms are not tolerated.  In order to have a safe classroom environment where all students feel comfortable, no put downs, swear words, or slang words with demeaning connotations will be accepted.  Remember, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all!

​

Attendance --This is a hands-on applications course. The only way to perfect your skills in through practice which means regular attendance is necessary. It is the student's responsibility to complete any work missed during an absence.

​

Students who miss one or more days of school must, upon return to school:

1. contact instructor to determine work missed. First check website.

2. complete all tests missed within a reasonable time (see instructor for clarification)-

3. you get a day for each you are absent to complete missed work, after that you will lose 10 points per day on the assignment.

 

Tests that are not made up within this period will receive a grade of F

 

Care of Equipment --Expensive equipment such as we have in the computer labs and technology suite requires careful treatment. Any maltreatment of equipment will result in consequences. Tools and other materials must be put away correctly after each use. No food or drink in the computer lab.

​

Class Work and Homework --Professional quality work is expected. All class work is to be handed in on the assigned date. There is a five point penalty per day for late work. If you are absent or need additional time in addition to regular class time, the lab is open during various times throughout the day.

​​

Behavior in class --Only mature and responsible behavior will be accepted in the,computer lab. Use of any foul language will result in loss of work/computer use for a given time! Respect your classmates and their property. Students are expected to be on time for class. Being late disrupts the lecture and your fellow students. 

​

Classroom Behavior Rubric

Strike 1 - Verbal Warning

Strike 2 - Call home

Strike 3 - Lunch and or After School Detention 3-4 PLUS Referral

​

Every student begins this class with a 100% average each ten weeks. This 100 points is for class participation. In the event that you are given a warning you will lose 5 points for each warning. If you are given strike 2, this will result in 10 points and strike 3 is 20 points off this 100.
