   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.

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 I can hear sound coming from your computer or any other electronic device, it is too loud.
