WELCOME TO MY CLASS! Please come in and take a seat! Please do not touch the computers!

CELL PHONE POLICY Cell phones are not needed in our class. We have computers to use. If we complete a special project where they are needed, I will ask you to bring it. Otherwise, I should not hear a cell phone, nor should I see a cell phone displayed. If you cannot keep your cell phone in your pocket, purse or pencil case, please do not bring it to class.

BELL SCHEDULE The exploratory bell schedule is posted near the door so that you know the start and end time of class each day. Please sharpen your pencil or make sure you have something to write with at the beginning of the bell before class starts!
