……………………………………………………………………………...……………..
technology
Unless I specifically say that you may have your cell phones out, you must keep them away at all times.
There are times I will allow us to use them (research, etc.)
When not in approved use: put in backpack or awaynot on floor/desk
You may charge your the “Power Station” in my room1st come, 1st serve (I’m not responsible for your stuff, damage/loss!)
Cell Jail: If I feel it’s necessary, I will take your phone up & keep in “cell jail” until the end of classrepeat offenders: referral to Mrs. Marquez
Late/make-up work policy
The expectation is that you submit all assignments on time.
*1 day late: -30 points
*2 days late: -50 points
*3+ days late: NO credit (0%)
If you are absent, it is your responsibility to check the make-up folder (in front of room) & complete missed work. 1 day per day missed (i.e., 2 days absent=2 days to make-up work)
Technological issues do not excuse you from completing your work.
………………………………………………
Academic dishonesty
All work that you submit must be
your own work. You may not do
any of the following:
Turn in or copy someone else’s work.
Copy someone’s work and change a few of the words.
Copying words from a source without citing it and giving credit to the source.
Attempt to use any notes on a closed-not assignment.
Look at someone else’s work during an quiz, test, or otherwise individual assessment.
If you are doing any of the above or anything else that constitutes cheating, you will receive a zero on that assignment, and you will be referred for discipline.
………………………………………………
Other policies
You may have bottled water in the classroom and a snack as long as it’s not noisy or too messy.
Please be prepared & positive!
BATHROOM PASSES: 3/semester (also at teacher discretion)
It’s your job to keep up with these!
HOMEWORK PASS: You get 1 free pass to turn in 1 assignment late for full credit (also at teacher discretion)
It’s your job to keep up with this!
TARDIES: All tardies are marked in computer10 min or more late=referral
2 tardies in 1 week: teacher detention
2+ tardies in 1 week: referral & call home
