LOCATION OF COURSE RULES AND REGS AND SYLLABUS  You have an option of printing a hard copy and getting them online. If you want them online (my recommendation), you can find them on my.ccsd.net. We had some issues with file size last year, so you will be better off uploading them as a pdf file. It is not difficult. The course expectations would be reviewed in class, students would print the signature page directly from the school website (ArborViewHS.net) and return it to you.
