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.
