Class Information Finish conversations and food outside before entering. Place all personal items against the wall. Take your music, pencil and bottle of water to your seat. When the bell rings, stand and prepare to sing. If you are late to class you will be sent to the discipline office to register your tardy. Only one person at a time may use the restroom. If the pass is gone you must wait. No bathroom passes the last 10 minutes of class. If I see or hear your phone or other electronic device, I will take it. Please place it in your backpack until it is needed for class projects.
