For Behavior Expectations think of the “Three R’s”: 1. Rights – All students have a right to an education. Disruptive actions will not be tolerated. 2. Responsibility – Success and failure are determined by the decisions YOU MAKE. 3. Respect – Act towards other people/materials just as you would want others to act toward you and your things. Show respect for the materials, the classroom, the instructor, and each other to promote a safe and effective learning environment. 7. Arrive promptly and complete the day’s warm up activity. TARDINESS will not be tolerated. Detention will be assigned after a SECOND TARDY (school policy). 8. LATE WORK WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF POINTS, unless previously discussed with me. You have one week to turn in late work. After a week, I will only except late projects and large assignments. 9. Students will actively participate during class discussions and activities. 10. Students will abide by the academic honesty policies in the student handbook. a. DO NOT SHARE YOUR WORK OR COPY ANOTHER STUDENT’S WORK. b. Having an electronic device OUT during an assessment constitutes as Academic Dishonesty. c. Academic Dishonesty = NO NATIONAL HONORS SOCIETY & record follows you post-graduation.

11. Electronic devices should not be used unless directed by the instructor. 12. Appropriate attire is expected. 13. If on a video or video conference (like Zoom), be aware of your background. You can change your background by making it virtual or positioning the camera to face a wall. See Video Conferencing Tips & Etiquette. 14. If you need help: a. Contact Mrs. Tritt: Remind App, Email [email protected], message using Schoology b. Ask a friend – COLLABORATION is different from cheating. i. COLLABORATION IS… Working together AT THE SAME PACE ii. COLLABORATION IS…. BOTH students contributing to the work accomplished iii. COLLABORATION IS NOT – divide & conquer!!! You only learn part of the lesson/concept....
