CLASSROOM WORK, ASSIGNMENTS, AND ATTENDANCE:
The attendance policy at Stadium High School will be enforced strictly and consistently. All students are expected
to be in class each day, on time, and with the necessary materials. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to
contact me the day you return to school. You cannot return to class after an absence without a re-entry from the
office. If the absence is extended (4 days or more), the parent/guardian is expected to contact the teacher so action
can be taken. Stadium high school limits vacation days to 4 excused absences.
VIII.
BEHAVORIAL EXPECTATIONS
When students enter through my door, they have entered the “World of Business”. I will teach and reinforce the
behaviors and expectations that employers are demanding. Therefore, students will
1. Attend my class a minimum of 78 days to earn your pay (credit and a grade). Students may stay after
school after the 12th absence to work “overtime” to buy back any absence over the twelfth.
2. Students will be on time. If you need to be tardy, be sure you get a pass from the adult who detained
you. I will pardon the first tardy, however, on the second tardy a detention will be issued. On the third or
subsequent tardies, I will issue an office referral. Overall grades may be dropped one percent per
additional tardy after the second tardy.
3. Students are expected to work diligently and quietly. Students will speak to each other utilizing businesslike tone, volume, and verbiage. Name calling, put downs, racial slurs, insulting remarks, profanity and
“bar talk” will not be tolerated.
4. Students will behave in a business-like manner. Students will stay at his/her work station working quietly
as to not disturb others. In this class, team work is encouraged, so working together is a good thing.
5. Students will take appropriate care of the equipment and materials used at their work station.
6. Students will submit only work that he/she has produced. Cheating will not be tolerated. Do not log on
to another student’s file. No exceptions! Pleases familiarize yourself with Stadiums High School
Business Department’s policy on cheating.
7. Students will keep cell phones, walkmans, or CD players off and out of sight. The school policy requires
that I confiscate it if I see it--please leave them at home!

8. Students will be respectful of others at all times. When the teacher or another member of the class is
speaking, students will be quiet and listen attentively.
9. Students will not bring food or drink into the classroom. Water is the exception.
10. Students will use class time wisely—no internet access without teacher permission.
11. Students will follow district policy and not send/read email, visit chat rooms, bulletin boards, post/publish
web pages, shop, or send personal information through the computer. The Internet at school is for
educational purposes only!
12. Students will ask me before inserting any disks or CDs into any drives so a virus check can be
done. Remember--four other students use your computer every day!
13. Students will save all data only to their own directory on the H drive.
14. Students will come to class (work) having taken care of all personal business before arriving. Permission
to leave will be given only on an emergency basis. When you are employed, you are entitled to a break
after two hours of work if you will be working more than three hours. Since class is under an hour long,
there should be no reason to need to leave. BE PREPARED!
15. Students will notify Mrs. Muenz immediately if you notice something missing, broken, or marked
on. This includes items such as the computer, mouse, desk, chair, bookstand, keyboard, and earpiece.
Remember, you are here to learn and perform your best work. We will have lots to do!
