Syllabus Brief Overview - Procedures8) Class Safety: You deserve a class that is safe

and respectful. Acting reckless, including mishandling of equipment or willfully disrespecting others will result in a: 20 minute lunch/after-school conference and parent notification.

Electronics, work from other classes, and food will be confiscated on sight.

9) Tardies: To be marked on-time and to receive full participation points, you have to be at your desk, silently setting up your opener task at the start of class. You are not participating if you are not in class. Tardies and unexcused absences will significantly impact your participation pts.

Syllabus - Procedures10) Restroom: One at a time, don’t ask, sign out,

detention for misuse, and it’s rude to others. The soap is the hall pass. The hand santizer and toilet paper is for your in-class use.

11) Raise Your Hand to Talk: Discussion points lost for talking out of turn.

12) Late Work: Late work is submitted using the late work slip at the back of the class.Approx: Within wk: -10% Over a wk: -30% (including test)

Get Your Attention: During an activity, if I need your attention, I’ll say: “If you can here me, clap once. If you can hear me, put your fist in the air.” I’ll place my fist in the air, at that point you need to pause your activity and talking, and place your fist in the air.
