Classroom Expectations

Welcome to Geometry class!  I hope that by the end of the course, you have a greater appreciation for the world that surrounds us.

The school guidelines are as follows:

1.  Please move through the hallways quickly in between classes.  Do not hall roam.

2. Memorize your daily schedule, especially lunch times.

3. The stairwell directions in between classes must be followed.  D-wing and A-wing center stairwells are UP ONLY.  The A-wing end stairwells are DOWN ONLY.  These directions do not apply upon arriving or leaving school, and do not apply during class or lunch.

The following are school expectations directly from Administration:

1. No food or drink (with the exception of water).  

2. No winter gear, hats, or hoods should be on inside the building (except religious or medical clearance).   

3. No locker passes during class.  For third block class, this includes going to and from lunch.

4. No bags of any kind are allowed in class.

5. No visitors or visiting.

6. Safety drills - know the difference between lockdown, lockdown window, shelter in place, and exiting directions for fire drills.

The following are the expectations for class:

1. Show up to class on time with your chromebook as charged as possible, something to write with, and something to write in (notebook, binder, etc).  

2. My classroom is not a charging station.

3. Homework assignments will be posted on, completed, and handed in (Kami, google form, uploaded picture, etc.) on Google Classroom.  Make sure to read specific instructions per assignment.

4. You may not use any website, app or AI program that solves problems for you, nor copy from others.  You must show your work for full credit.

5. It's easier to remember things if you write them down yourself.  If I write something down, you can only benefit to do the same.

6. We will consider the Desmos Scientific Calculator (desmos.com/scientific) our class calculator.  You may use your own if you have one.  You may not use the calculator on your phone during class.  

7. As class presentations are occurring, stay as silent as possible so you and your classmates can follow along.

8. No cell phone use during class.  If you choose not to follow this, we will write you up.  This is a directive from Administration.

9. Passes are required to be in the halls during class time.  Passes will be addressed after presentations.  Doctor/nurse note will be honored.  Must use A-wing bathroom.

10. If you have questions to ask after class time, you may ask on Google Classroom or via email, but most responses to those questions will be given the next day in class.  

11. Late work accepted up until the next major assessment date, and will be a 0 thereafter.  5 point deduction for every day past date graded, unless for absence makeup.  If someone at home is concerned about a missing grade, show them handed in on GC.
