Classroom Rules Choose Your Attitude The attitude you choose will determine how your day and everyone else’s goes. Be Respectful If you respect me and others, you will be respected in return. Be Honest and Trustworthy I do not tolerate dishonesty or cheating. DON’T DO IT!

Classroom Expectations When you come in the room: Sit in your assigned seat. If any paper homework is due, place it in the 2 nd hour tray on the yellow cabinet. Computerized homework due dates are posted on Aplia. Complete any bellwork that is assigned. This will usually be written on the board. Tardy Policy: If both feet are not on the carpet when the bell rings, you are tardy. What to do if you are tardy: Sign your name on the tardy sign-in sheet by the door. After three tardies in this class, you will receive a tardy referral for detention.

Classroom Expectations MP3/CD Players: Allowed during Individual Work Time as long as one ear is left open so you can hear me. Not Allowed during Whole Class Instruction Time. Headphones are available for check-out with collateral (a shoe, your badge, etc). Food: Allowed during IWT as long as you clean up your trash and don’t mess up the keyboards and/or tables.

Classroom Expectations Bathroom/Hall Pass: NO BADGE=NO PASS Do not come up to me putting on your badge, if you don’t have it on when you walk in the room, don’t bother!!! You will not go anywhere during WCIT unless you are called out by the office. Don’t bother asking. (Obvious Emergencies may be excluded).

Classroom Expectations Internet Usage: Homework= yes MP3 music =yes w/o abuse Just because = not unless I give you permission NO- unless you are ing an assignment to me. Consequence: automatic 30 minute detention with me after school.

Classroom Expectations Printing: You will print out the assignments I ask you to. DO NOT get them off the printers. I will do this at the end of class. At the end of class: Log-off. DO NOT SHUTDOWN. Put things back the way you found them. Put your folder away in your hanging file folder (if applicable). Have a seat until the bell rings. When you leave, push your chair in.

Assignments Most assignments will be done online. Point values are undetermined at this point. These may be done here at school or at home. No late work will be accepted. The program has a final due date and the assignment will not be accessible after that date. If a due date is going to change for any reason, I will let you know this. Practice problems will give you feedback, homework problems will be automatically graded and I have access to your scores. You may print out a hard copy if you like, but it is not required. I may print out hard copies as well and hand them back to you.

Tests Our tests are not online. They will be done in Excel and you will have a review session instructing you how to complete the test. Tests are usually worth points of your grade.

Grades Grades are determined by a percentage of total point value. Although tests are worth more points, they do not have any more % weight to them. Grading Scale: A=100-90% B=89-80% C=79-70% D=69-60% F=59% or below Extra Credit? Maybe, maybe not.
