Tardy

If you are not in the seat BEFORE the bell rings, you are considered tardy and will have to deal with the consequences.

  1. Verbal warning

There will be a zero tolerance for cheating within this classroom.  If a student is caught cheating, an automatic zero will be given for the assignment/exam.  Notification will also be sent to parents, letting them know about the situation.

 

Food and Drink:

Phone/Electronic Device Policy:

Listening to music, with ear buds, while you work is fine. You cannot use ear buds during lectures or while instructions are given.  Remove them completely from your ears. No one else should be able to hear your music. Cell Phones are put away—music is the exception.

Bathroom Passes

You are only issued 2 bathroom passes per 6 weeks so use them wisely. I strongly recommend that you use the restroom before coming to class.
