Laptops

Remember, part of your employability skills grade is based on you bringing your laptop to class and using for ACT words and other assignments.

ACT words

Complete your ACT word assignment through Edmodo, using your laptop.

All ADC academy students must submit this assignment on line, using Edmodo. If you are in the ADC academy and you do not submit through Edmodo, your grade will be a zero.

ACT words must be submitted individually.

Electronic devices

Cell phones, portable music players, headphones, earbuds, and other electronic devices are not permitted. This is a school rule.

If I see one of those items, I will ask you to give it to me.

If you give it to me, I will give it back to you at the end of class.

If you choose not to give it to me, or contiunue to break this rule, I will write a referral.

The only exception is your school-issued laptop & ear buds, I believe. That means if you are using your school-issued laptop and ear buds for assigned work, this is permitted....at this point in time. This could change if my understanding is incorrect.

safety in this class

Safety in this class

1. Do not throw anything at any time. Even a sheet of paper or an eraser can cause an injury.

2. Use extreme caution when using X-acto knives, paper cutters, mat cutters, scissors, the tape dispenser, or any sharp instruments. Always cut away from your body, especially your hands.

When using X-acto knives for cutting at a drawing table, a piece of mat board, railroad board, or other similar substance should be placed between the item you are cutting and your wooden desktop.

Never take any tools or equipment outside the classroom. Many of these items may be considered weapons and could result in a zero-tolerance offense.

3. Never possess any item that can produce a flame. Never strike a match, lighter, or any other item that can produce a flame. Some materials such as rubber cement, are flammable and can cause fire.

4. When using spray products such as fixative, spray mount, etc., be sure that you do so in proper ventilation.

Inhaling the fumes of spray fixative, rubber cement, or rubber cement thinner could be toxic and hazardous to one's health and lead to respiratory problems.

5. Follow proper safety precautions when working around electrical equipment, outlets, cords, etc. Never make contact with an electrical device when any of your hands or any other body parts are wet.

6. Do not have any food, liquids, soft drinks, milk, etc., near a computer.

7. Do not run, push, shove, or engage in "horseplay" in the classroom.

8. Be sure that your seat is stable and that all its legs are in contact with the floor. Do not lean back in your seat.

9. Know the location of the fire extinguisher. In case of fire, leave the room calmly, turn right and exit the building. Assemble in the parking lot for attendance check.

10. Report any damaged equipment, broken equipment, accidents or any potential hazard to the classroom teacher immediately.

11. OSHA stand for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration

12. Accidents or injuries occurring in the classroom should be reported to the instructor immediately.

Accidents require that an accident report be filed. Even a small scratch may seem minor but could become serious if left untreated.

grades

You should make very effort to finish work when it is due. Late work, if it is accepted, will receive 75 % of what the grade would have been if the assignment was turned in on time.

Daily and weekly work such as Time sheets and ACT words are due each week. If the ay are not completed on time, the grade will be a zero and cannot be made up. If you are absent, you are still responsible for turning in the work when you return to school.
