Mrs. Hilstein’s Expectations and Code of Conduct:

Attendance:

• Attendance is important and directly related to your success in school. Class participation correlates with attendance. Therefore, when students are not in class they cannot participate in coursework or discussion and earn those points. Tardies will result in the following: All Tardies: cannot take daily/pop reading quiz and will lose participation points. Administrative consequences will be assigned according to the expectations and guidelines of the William S. Hart Union High School District and Saugus High School student handbook. To avoid a tardy, student should be in their seats when the bell rings. Attendance can be tracked on the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Students are responsible to obtain the material missed from an absence or tardy.

Technology:

• No personal electronic devices. -All electronic devices must be turned off and put away prior to entrance into the classroom; this is the only warning; I have a zero-tolerance policy regarding electronic devices. Students will have access to classroom Chromebook to complete electronic coursework. Students must join Google Classroom, Turnitin.com, and NoRedInk using their student Google Hart District account. GoGuardian will be enabled each course period when chromebooks are utilized.

Participation:

• Students are expected to participate in lessons verbally and non-verbally. Students need to be prepared for teachers to call on them to contribute to course. Students need to complete coursework, and collaborative work as instructed in order to ensure success in the course.

Mutual Respect and Integrity:

• Respect yourself, others, and your teacher. Communicate—convey information and knowledge as necessary; listen to understand and not to argue. Care for yourself and others; reciprocate kindness and take responsibility for your actions.

• It can be tempting to take advantage of the many resources online to complete assigned work, including writing assignments. While working collaboratively, do your own work. Plagiarism and academic dishonesty of any kind will not be tolerated. Any work that is found to be wrongfully shared, plagiarized or copied, including smaller, daily assignments, will earn a score of 0 and will not be able to be made up. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in Mrs. Hilstein’s classroom or at Saugus High School. Throughout the year, you will be collaborating with students in a variety of ways and preparing writing assignments. Any student involved in academic dishonesty will be subject to the William S. Hart Union High School District Academic Dishonesty Policy.
