Classroom Guidelines
Come to class on time, every day.
Turn in coursework on time.
Keep a copy of all returned/graded work in your class folder
If you do not understand something, please ask questions
No food or drinks permitted in the computer lab
Students are NOT permitted to download ANYTHING from the internet or save any information other than class work to the hard drive on any computer in the computer lab.
Always use the computer in a way that demonstrates consideration and respect for your fellow classmates and instructor.
Because data can be shared so easily when using computer, cheating can be convenient. Do not fall into this trap. Zeros will be given to all parties who hand in work which has been shared. Second offenses will be handled by the administration and parents will be contacted.
Textbooks will remain in the classroom. We only have one set and multiple classes use them each day. If you are absent, and need to make-up work, you may sign-out a book for the evening and return it the following morning before first period begins.
Respect and be polite to all people. (Listen carefully. Do not interrupt the teacher or other students.)
Respect the property of others. (Put litter in trashcan. Return borrowed items. Do not write on desks, walls, etc.)
Exercise self control at all times. (Crude and offensive language will not be tolerated. Keep hands and feet to yourself. No items (e.g. pencils, paperwads, etc.) are to be thrown or tossed inside the classroom. Tone and volume of voice will be controlled at all times.)
Enjoy Learning!
