Students are expected to be in their seat when the tardy bell rings. 

They will have no more than five minutes to work on their assigned English Builder.

Students must stay on task during the period.

All assignments are due at the beginning of the next class day unless instructed otherwise.

No cell phones or smart watches will be used in my classroom. Computers are only allowed if the assignment calls for it.

Do your own work and pay attention in class.

Taking someone else's ideas or words is considered plagiarism/cheating. If you are caught cheating or plagiarizing you will receive a zero, with no chance to redo, and an office referral.

AI writing generators are considered plagiarism. If caught using them the grade will receive a zero, with no chance to redo, and an office referral. 

Assignment are expected to be turned in on time. Late work will not be accepted after the second day it is late and the highest grade the assignment can receive is a 70.

Corrections must be turned in the following day after the graded assignment is returned.

Do not interrupt valuable instruction to ask to go to the bathroom. Please go before class and arrive before the tardy bell.

There will be no unkind or disrespectful words, tones, or gestures in my classroom. I have a zero-tolerance policy for disrespect and bullying.

Please leave the classroom looking nicer when you leave than when you arrive.
