Classroom Expectations

Guidelines for Behavior in Room 303:

• Everyone will have the chance to participate, express their opinion or contribute as long as respect for all is maintained. 

• All language, spoken or written, must correspond to Woodbridge High School’s rules for conduct.

• Raise your hand to let Mr. Switek know you have something to say or ask or to respond to a classmate. 

• Assignments must be completed on the document posted to Google Classroom or on the material from Mr. Switek. (You cannot create documents and submit them.)

• Sharing work, copying peers’ work, or using another person’s or A.I.'s work and claiming it as your own (plagiarism) will result in a “zero” grade for that assignment.

• No electronic devices (other than Chromebooks) are to be present in the classroom:

Woodbridge High School will enforce a bell-to-bell prohibition on the use of cell phones and other personal electronic devices, from the start of the school day through dismissal. This includes cell phones, earbuds, headsets, headphones, and other internet-enabled devices. Students are expected to have their devices silenced and securely stored and may not wear earbuds, headsets, or headphones during the school day.

The purpose of this policy is to reduce distractions, improve student engagement, and create a school environment where students can focus on learning and interacting with their peers.
