Class Rules

Demonstrate respect.

1) Listen when others speak.

2) Be kind to one another.

3) Be respectful of the classroom and school property. Do not leave trash or draw on the desks/furniture.

I consider this rule to be the most important one. Without respect we will have a hard time learning and having fun in class.

Arrive on time. Upon entering the classroom:

1) Place your cell phone in your backpack.

2) Take out your class materials (Chromebook/laptop, notebook, pen, homework, etc) and be ready to start when the bell rings.

Stay organized. 

The following items are strongly encouraged to stay organized in this class:

1) a digital or physical folder divided into sections (notes, handouts, homework)

2) a notebook (for in-class writing)

3) a pencil or pen

Be responsible

1) It is your responsibility to obtain all missing work when you are absent (please see/email me before class begins)

2) If you miss a quiz or test, please see/email me to set up a time to make it up.

3) All missing assignments will be given a grade of "0" until it has been turned in.

Be honest

The following constitutes cheating in class:

1. Copying information from another student's test, quiz, homework or project OR providing this information.

2. Using any type of unapproved aide during formal or informal assessments (electronic devices, cheat sheets, etc...)

3. Outside help (parent, tutor, older sibling, etc) beyond that of basic assistance.

4. Plagiarism: submitting someone else's work as your own.

5. Turning in work generated by an online translator as your own

Consequences for your actions:

1. I will have a conversation with your parent or guardian.

2. Your administrator and guidance counselor will be notified.

3. You will not receive credit for the work that was compromised.

Be attentive

1) Keep personal items (smartphone, hairbrush, lotion, etc) and items not pertaining to this class in your backpack.

2) Do not complete work for another subject during this class. If you choose to do so, I will confiscate the assignment and it will not be returned.

Seek help

If you are confused, ask questions! If you need additional help, let me know as soon as possible. We will find a common time to meet so that I can help clear up any confusion.
