TECHNOLOGY
Bob Hope has a NO PHONE policy. ALL students are expected to have their phone, earbuds, and smartwatch silenced and sealed away in their backpack. No phone use is permitted, even for academic purposes. Any phone or smartwatch that is out will be collected and brought to the office. If you expect important communication from guardians, let me know. However, please inform your guardians of appropriate times to contact you while you are at school.

You will be required to show up each day with your chromebook and your charger. Coming unprepared will result in a detention.

Expectations

Beginning of class:

Be in the room when the bell rings. Go straight to your assigned seat, and read the info board.

During the first 5 minutes of class you are responsible for completing the Do Now.

Once you finish the Do Now, use any extra time to work on homework or review notes.

Info board:

Agenda, objective, Do Now, upcoming deadlines, and announcements.

Lecture:
Keep a voice level zero (0) ANYtime I am at the front of the room. To ask a question or to answer a question you must raise a hand. Other times, I might invite the class to talk to each other or call out answers. We will practice listening for these cues.

Homework:

Students will complete a homework assignment each week and are expected to be aware of and meet deadlines for these assignments. Students are encouraged to work on the assignment a little bit at a time throughout the week, as relevant material is covered in class. This will prevent you from being stuck doing the whole assignment the night before it’s due.

Late work:

Unexcused late submissions will result in a 20 point deduction after one day. After two days, the deduction will be 40 points off. After three days, no late work will be accepted. Students who do not complete their homework must report to Eagle Academy as appropriate.

Notes and classwork:

During class, all students are expected to be courteous and attentive to the instructor. This includes listening quietly, participating when called upon, and taking detailed notes.

Anything that goes up on the board should get written down in your notes. Please make an effort to keep your notes organized, and be encouraged to use underlining, circling, boxing, or symbols to emphasize important words and ideas.

During independent practice time, students are expected to work on their own through practice problems that are supplied by the instructor. This time is for you to practice the new concept and become acquainted with using it yourself.

Absences:

It is your responsibility to leave a note on any late work due to absence, in order to get full credit. It is your responsibility to catch up on notes with a classmate or to attend tutorials to catch up with me. It is your responsibility to get information about homework assignments if you were gone when that was discussed.

Bathroom:

NO ONE MAY USE THE RESTROOM IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF CLASS NOR THE LAST 10 MINUTES. If you do need to use the restroom during the allowed times, simply grab the pass and come back in a timely manner. Only one person may be out at a time. If a student regularly leaves for the restroom and is gone for long periods of time, I will contact parents about potential health notes or concerns about skipping.

Nurse:

If possible, wait until I can stop lecturing and then raise your hand or come to me to ask for a nurse pass.

End of class:

Students may NOT pack up unless told to do so by me. ALL TRASH must be thrown away before leaving the room. Students are expected to push their chairs in before leaving their area.

Everyone is asked to leave the room better than they found it!

Consequences: There will be several levels of consequences for misbehavior etc. Frequent or severe behavior problems will result in increased severity of consequences.

1. Private talk
2. Creative consequence: losing chair privileges, isolated seat next to me, time-out corner, whole class shut-down
3. Phone call home (including details of behavior)
4. Classroom Cleaning Detention
5. Teacher Detention
6. Saturday Detention
7. Directly Contacting Admin

Inappropriate behavior includes: crude language, loudness, talking back, openly defying, horseplaying, throwing things, damaging materials, playing sounds during class, playing games or misusing technology during class, cheating, packing up before being told.
