Classroom

Policies (Rules)

Anything that distracts from any Cadet's ability to learn will not be tolerated.

Disrespect will not be tolerated. Respect is paid to the SNSI/NSI and fellow Cadets by not talking when a lesson is being presented. Respect is paid to fellow Cadets by not teasing when questions are asked. Remember, the only stupid question is the one that is not asked.

Profanity will not be tolerated. Profanity serves only to show the Cadet's insufficient vocabulary.

Honesty is the only policy. For cheating on any test, quiz or homework - a Cadet will earn grade of 0. In addition, for cheating on a test the Cadet will be sent to the office.

The Cadet is to come to class prepared to learn. They must bring their notebook, textbook and pencil to class each day. The notebook should contain all class notes, worksheets and homework assignments.

If needed, the Cadet is to use the restroom and get water before class. Leaving the classroom to go to the restroom will be allowed only in emergencies.

The SNSI/NSI, not the bell, will dismisses the class; so the Cadets are to remain in their seats until dismissed by the SNSI/NSI. The bell was designed to let the SNSI/NSI know that the class time has ended.

Each Cadet will be responsible for their own WORK even when working in a group.

Graded tests will be returned to the Student, after reviewing, and will be kept on file for review if needed.

Progress reports will be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to the SNSI/NSI.
