Discipline & Consequences: I have high expectations for behavior and expect my students to abide by the
school rules and class expectations at all times. Those who choose to be disruptive or behave in a way that is not
acceptable for school will have one or more of the following consequences.
Warning
Loss of computer use for the remainder of the period
Phone call or email home to parent
AM detention with Mrs. Snyder
A discipline referral or write up
Equipment Needed: You will need to bring your school-assigned Chromebook and a pair of headphones to
EVERY class. Headphones will not be provided for you.
Extra Time in Class: Students finish projects and activities at different times. There will likely be times when a
student has spare time. This time can be used in several ways. Students may use spare time, not class time that is to be
spent on class work, to check PowerSchool, use one of the programs or applications we have available to us on our
computers, or to visit the Internet. Students must have approval to visit some websites. I have an approved list of websites
that students can visit located under the Spare Time tab of the class website.
**Students MAY NOT check their personal email, chat, visit websites that have not been approved by me or listen to
music during class. Students caught doing any of these things will lose the use of the computers for the remainder
of the class period. If this becomes a repeated problem there will be further consequences.
Parents/Guardians: You should have received an email inviting you to receive weekly updates through Google
Classroom. I highly suggest you do this so can receive accurate information about what students are learning in class.
Much of what we do in this class will be cloud-based in the Google for Education Suite that the district has provided us to
use. This means your child will not have any physical papers to bring home to keep you updated on progress. When you
receive the weekly updates through Google Classroom, you will have access to all of this information. Grades will be posted
on PowerSchool as well.
**I am piloting a new version of the PowerTeacher Gradebook so please let me know if you see any errors in grading
or have trouble viewing your childs grade.
Class Assignments
All assignments will be posted in Google Classroom and will need to be turned in by digital file to
Google Classroom. Failure to do so will result in a grade of a zero.

Make Up Work:
Students are welcome to turn in missing work throughout the trimester. However, missing work
from the first half of the trimester will only be accepted until midterm time. It will not be accepted after the midterm. If work is
from the second half of the trimester it will only be accepted until the week before the end of the trimester. In order to get
credit, students MUST add a PRIVATE COMMENT in Google Classroom so that I receive an alert that they have turned
something in after the due date. Otherwise, I will not know the assignment is turned in. Quizzes and Tests may not be
redone for additional points.
