I highly encourage students to participate in our districts mLISD laptop initiative or regularly bring their own laptops or tablets from home. Other than using Google Classroom, we will occasionally be using our devices (preferably laptops) for assessment, instructional videos, quizzes, art critiques, research, and other activities. Students will not be allowed to use cell phones in the classroom for technology anymore(except photographing your work to submit on Google classroom).
What are the students classroom responsibilities?
Be on time each day.
Do not leave room without permission.
Use my classroom time effectively.
Only use technology when given permission.
Respect the classroom and materials by not wasting supplies or damaging equipment.
Respect classmates and teacher with a positive attitude.
Follow school guidelines from code of conduct in the classroom.
What are the students’ responsible for cleaning? Every day you will be responsible for cleaning your work area and any tools you used. All tools are to be returned to the correct storage place and your table is to be cleaned without any clay strikes. This may require two or three cleanings because the clay is hard to completely wipe up. The need for cleaning will help keep your Art room a safe working environment.

Grading Policy/Evaluation
Policy on Late and Resubmitted Work
Late work will be accepted (up to the end of 6 weeks), and you may re-submit a project to attempt for a higher grade, but this will need to be done during tutorials or on your own time. You will be expected to stay up to date, as well as complete the late or re-submitted work. For students who fall behind I am here before/after school.
