Classroom Expectations:
The classroom is a place of learning and will be treated as such. You are expected to follow the rules of the classroom in addition to the rules of the school.
Electronic Device Policy:
Cell phones and other electronic devices are not allowed to be used during class time. Students will be asked to put their phones on silent/do not disturb and place their phone in a designated area of the classroom. If they do so, they will gain extra credit points which will be added to their final grade for the marking period. If they choose to keep their cell phones, they must put them on silent and keep them in their bags. Students may charge their phones ONLY if they are on do not disturb AND there are outlets available. Students are not permitted to pull out plugs in order to charge their phones. Students may not get up repeatedly to check their phones during class time.
Class participation:
Students are expected to act in a professional manner in class, meaning that they are participating in a positive manner and not acting in a manner which prevents others from learning or makes others feel unsafe. Students will be given 20 participation points for each day of the week, totaling 100 points for the full week. As long as students are actively listening and participating, they keep their 20 points. If they are acting in a manner which prevents students from learning they will lose 1 point per incident. If students lose all 20 points for the day, their parents/guardians will be contacted. Any of the following will result in a subtraction of points from the participation grade:
