Electronics in Class – Phones and iPads: READ!

All electronics are to be off and away when entering Rooms 212 and 213. No exceptions. Phones in pockets, or binders, and iPads off and placed in the center of quad tables at the start of class, and until instruction is given to use them.

Earbuds and headphones are out of sight, tucked away and/or in pockets and binders unless instruction is given to have them out. No exceptions.

Students will review this at the beginning of the term. They will have ONE warning:

Phones/earbuds put in their locker on first warning. Any infractions past that will result in a referral and phone/earbuds being delivered to the office.

iPad misuse on first warning is a reminder. Any infractions past that results in a strike. Repeated misuse after 3 strikes results in restricted use or loss of privileges.

It’s A New School Year! Welcome 2016-17!

I’m excited about the new school year! I can’t wait to welcome back returning 7th and 8th graders, and meet the new incoming 6th grade class.

With everyone refreshed from summer break, I’m looking forward to a great start to the year. Be sure to check in regularly on my blog for timely information, events, and updates.

Syllabi and assignments for all of my courses are located under the “Courses” drop down menu. It’s important to familiarize yourself with course information for assignment descriptions, examples, and grading. Actual assignment due dates are current on my classroom whiteboard agenda. Course pages show assignment targets, these can change, so always check the whiteboard agenda!
