Mrs. Prince will assign each student the computer to be used in her classroom for students to use to type and research. Homework & late work electronic devices A key to school success is completing homework and class work on time and with a high level of quality. Work not completed, or not turned in on time, becomes a burden to the student and affects the student’s attitude toward school. All students should complete on time any projects, homework, or assignments without being constantly reminded. The student can hand in late assignments, except for long-term assignments/projects, up to one week after the due date. Electronic devices should be kept in students backpacks at ALL TIMES. Devices should not be out during class, unless otherwise instructed by the teacher or with permission. First offense: Student will turn the phone into the teacher until the end of class. However, the best grade they can receive will be 70% of the original points possible. Depending on the student’s circumstances, contracts for late work can be discussed with the teacher. Any assignment over a week late will ONLY receive 1/2 credit. Second offense: The device goes to the office and I contact home. Cell phones are extremely annoying, and I really do not want to spend my time or energy policing this issue.
