*****NOTE the Date change for pictures deadline below.*****
**** At the end of the block, you will wait to be dismissed from the classroom. You are to remain in your seat and quietly wait to be dismissed. Work areas that are not clean and ready for the next class will delay dismissal for the class.
***All students will be required to bring a notebook (3-ring or spriral) to every class. Notes taken will be transcribed into your Notes.doc. This means you will need to bring BOTH your BCIS notebook and a writing instrument to class and actively use it during instruction and throughout class each and every day.
***Late work will not be accepted. If you do not turn in work on the day it is due, it will NOT be accepted unless:
1. You were absent on the due date, and you printed the work and turned it into the Makeup Work box the day you returned.
2. The acceptable makeup work was completed in a timely manner(i.e. one for one, with maximum 2 days makeup).
3. It included the complete Class Header including the date INSERTED from the Header toolbar.
3. And if it was turned into the Makeup Work tray with the words "Makeup Work" printed to the LEFT of the class header.
***Makeup days are on "B" mornings. You will need to let me know you are needing/planning to come. Again, I may not be on campus early because of my Work Site visitation coordination.
Bring a childhood picture of yourself and one of you with a family member or friend. Deadline to bring is Wed., Jan. 12(A-Day), Thurs., Jan. 13 (B-Day). It will not be scanned for use in your upcoming brochure project if deadline is not met.
