My Rules/Expectations for Laptop Usage in All Classes
-
1.Bring laptop daily.
-
2.Close lid to laptop when asked and give your attention to the teacher.
-
3.Check your Gmail daily for emails from me for important news such as updates, assignments, replies to sent assignments, etc.
-
4.Use Google chat (texting) sparingly during class. This is to be used only when working on a group assignment.
-
5.Use your laptop to work on your class assignments. If when I come around and you are on inappropriate, non-class related websites or playing games, the following consequences will occur:
First offense: I will take away your laptop until class time is over.
Second offense: I will take away your laptop and return it to you at
the end of the school day.
Third Offense: I will take away your laptop and will return it to you after
a conference with you, your parents/guardian, and Mr. Adams.
Note: Netiquette Rules for each class were compiled with student input and are located on each class page. Both students and parents should read them. Thanks!
Detentions
The detention policy in the student handbook will be enforced. If you are given a detention, you will serve your detention with me the following morning beginning at 7:30 AM until 8:00 AM. By losing self-control, you have already inconvenienced me and the rest of your class, so NO excuses will be accepted or time changed to accommodate you or your parents. If you should earn a second detention, your parents are asked to contact me immediately at the school or at home to schedule our conference which will include you, your parents and me. I would prefer that this conference take place during the 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM time period. Other times may considered if needed. You will remain in the detention study hall until the conference takes place.
PARENTS: There may be times I will ask that your child remain after school to finish homework because of deadlines. He/she will place the phone call to you ASAP to let you know why he/she has been detained. This will mean that those riding the bus will need to be picked up or have an alternative way to get home. If your child regularly DOES NOT complete assignments in a timely manner make sure you have discussed alternative transportation options
