3. DO... Act responsibly! Get to class on time! Be respectful to others.

4. Turn off cell phones and mp3 players
DO...
Turn off cell phones and mp3 players
Make sure they are off and put away EXCEPT…
Test policy: phones are off and on the edge of your desk.

5. DON'T... Bring food or accessories into class.
Food and drinks not only cause messes, mice, and roaches, but they can also irreversibly damage expensive technology in this room.
Water is okay if it has a screw-top lid.
Beauty and hair accessories should be used outside of class. This includes chapstick!

6. DON'T... Cheat. Plagiarism or cheating of any kind is not tolerated.
It is an automatic D-1 and a zero on the assignment.
It’s not worth it!

7. Possible Consequences
Phone calls or s home (not happy)
After school detention for 30 minutes
Objects will be taken (cell phones, make-up, brushes, chapstick, etc.)
D-1 and office discipline
PTO (don’t make Mrs. Bartlett send you there!)

8. Possible Rewards Phone calls or e-mails home (happy ones)
Free time in class
Homework passes
Being Mrs. Bartlett’s favorite student 

9. Class Procedures
As soon as you enter the classroom every day, get out your notebook, turn in any homework, check for any handouts on the table, and begin the warm-up. Warm-ups will only be up for a limited time!
Expect assigned seats all semester!
Remain in your seats until dismissed by me. Lining up at the door is a pet peeve of mine, and it means it will actually take you LONGER to leave the classroom.

10. Keeping it Neat
This lab is your workspace, which means you are responsible for keeping it neat. Your personal workspace and the entire classroom should be clean before you leave the room. When we are in 209, the same applies.
Computers need to be logged off at the end of every class period. If you are on a laptop, it needs to be shut down and returned to the mobile lab.

11. Being Absent
We will do work every day. You will always miss something if you are not here.
Always will check the make-up work binder after being absent AND check with me. It is YOUR responsibility to get make-up work—I won’t track you down!
If you know you will be absent, let me know in advance!
Bring your absence note from home and turn it in to the office first thing in the morning.
You will be expected to turn in absent work quickly so you don’t get behind. (2 days after absence)

12. Grading Policies
45% of my grade will be TEST grades. This includes tests, projects, written essays, etc.
25% of my grade will be DAILY grades. This includes daily homework and classwork activities, and classroom participation.
30% of my grade will be any QUIZ grades. This includes pop quizzes and warm-up grades and many other assignments.

13. Late Work?
Homework is turned in at the beginning of class; otherwise, I won’t take it.
Big grades (projects, tests, etc.) get a 10 point per day penalty for being late. Weekends are included in late days.
You can turn in late projects via , but they won’t be graded until you also bring a printed copy.
