Hall Passes
Bathroom
Anywhere else.......During this class, if you need to go to another teacher, to guidance, or any other location for school work, you need to bring a note from the person who will be supervising you requesting permission for you to leave class. Give this to me at the beginning of class. I will not call another teacher for you.
SSA and Tardies
For tardies, 3 times, then referral
SSA_follow the guidelines or referral....sorry
Phones should be used for classwork only. If your phone is visible, you should be able to explain how you are using it for class work.
Electronic Devices
When I am giving instructions or speaking to the entire class, all electronic devices should be put away. That means invisible. If I see one, I will ask you for it. I will probably give it back to you at the end of class.
If you do not give it to me, I will call for a campus supervisor and have you escorted to an assistant principal.
If I can hear sound coming from your computer or any other electronic device, it is too loud.
If you have trouble with your computer or Photoshop, be sure we fix that at the beginning of class. If you wait until I come to check work that is too late.
This week, through August 11:
