Participate

• Be focused during live sessions (Google Meet) and remain during the whole session.

  • You are required to attend the Google Meets for all of your classes. Teachers are taking attendance through the Google Meet.

• Share your opinions and thoughts in Google Meets and discussion boards. Ask questions and reply to your peers.

Be Respectful

• Say and write words that contribute constructively to the conversation.

• Share your opinion, and respect the opinions of others.

• Do NOT:

  • attack someone personally

  • embarrass others

  • bully others

  • use profanity

• Use professional writing:

  • Proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation

  • Professional tone, wording, and format

Be Honest

• Only submit work that you created yourself.

• Do NOT complete work for another student.

• Do NOT copy and paste code from another student, website, or other source.

  • When getting help from another student or website, type out the code and CITE your source in a comment. If it's more than one or two lines, it is probably cheating.

• You can ask other students for help, and offer help on larger assignments, but the helper should only explain concepts.

• Sometimes (skill checks, quizzes and assessments), Mrs. Ramsey will explicitly say to work entirely alone.

Plagiarism and cheating are unacceptable. There are serious disciplinary consequences, and the student will not receive any credit for work that is plagiarized.

Be Prepared

• Read assignment directions and rubric carefully.

• Pay attention to the due date of each assignment, and submit your completed work by the due date.

• Find a comfortable workspace and create a productive environment so you can do your best learning and creating.

  • Disconnect from distractions such as cell phone, social media, video games. They will still be there when you are done with your work.

Communicate

• Check routinely for messages and comments from Mrs. Ramsey in Schoology.

• If you have a question that might apply to other students, post the question on the assignment in Schoology. Reply to your peers' questions if you are confident about the answer.

• If you have an individual question, send a message to Mrs. Ramsey in Schoology or email at tramseytramsey@sylvaniaschools.org .

• This is a challenging time, and I am here to support you! Contact me if you have an issue at home and you may need some extra time on an assignment to do your best work.
