time for them to make up their work.

Bring all materials to class each day.

Profanity and cussing are not acceptable or tolerated in this class. When your classmates or the

Homework for this class will mainly consist of completing any assignments that you were not able to
finish in class.

Students must be on time to class. They should be in the classroom when the bell rings. If a teacher
from another class detains a student for any reason, a note must be brought from that teacher to
excuse the tardy. After three tardies, a student is assigned a detention.

Work Area: The work area is the students’ responsibility. We share these desks with other classes so
please keep your area clean. Students will be assigned a computer station. You will always work at
that station unless you are asked to move by the teacher.

able to participate in the class if you do not have permission to access the Internet.

Cheating – Students are expected to do their own work so that they can learn the material and the
objectives of the lessons. Do not duplicate another student’s work. If you are caught cheating, you and
the student you have copied off of will receive a zero on the entire assignment.
