MAKE-UP AND LATE ASSIGNMENTS

At the beginning of each section of the course, the class will discuss the concepts and
assignments that will be covered during that section. Students work on most
assignments on an individual basis and can progress through them at their own pace.
The class will also occasionally work in groups on learning and reinforcing different
concepts.
Because of the participating nature of this class, and the availability of equipment,
make-up work on computer assignments will be allowed only by completing the work in
periodic after school lab times. The class web site will provide the daily objectives and
assignments for students who may have missed a class period.
Class assignments are not to be done outside the classroom, even if the student has
access to the same version of software used in class.

CLASS RULES
1. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.
2. Student must have and maintain Internet access and student email access at

participation points for EVERY tardy (excused and unexcused).

phones and beepers
are commonly used by parents and their children to communicate with each other.

disrupting the orderly
operation of the school. The Board of Education directs each school to establish rules
allowing the
possession of electronic/communication devices and regulating their use in accordance
with the following
direction:

purposes.
Communication devices that are used in violation of school rules will be
confiscated and disciplinary
action will be taken.

students are not permitted to receive calls during class except in an emergency

constitutes an emergency situation.) Students may not leave the classroom to
answer pager or cell phones. In case of an emergency, parents/guardians should
contact the Main Office (385-646-5360).

 To allow students to learn from others by both giving and receiving feedback, and to
assist me in using instructional time as efficiently as possible, I would like to have
students correct one another=s work. Parent/Guardian, by signing this outline below
