Seven Simple Rules
| 1. | Be Respectful and polite to everyone. |
| 2. | Be Honest. It is possible to cheat, but I assume that you are honest young adults. If you cheat, you will be cheating yourself. |
| 3. | Be Punctual and Prepared. Tardies, according to school rules must be made up within five (5) school days. Bring a text, your notebook, a pencil to class daily. If you come to class unprepared, you risk losing daily points. |
| 4. | All students using the high school computers have signed an Acceptable Use Policy and therefore will be held accountable to the requirements listed in it. It is most important that students use only the software and links that are assigned in class. Doing anything that is not assigned while at the computer will result in the loss of computer privileges for a specific amount of time. All work for this class is available outside of class time via the internet. Students who do not have school access because of infractions are responsible for the material assigned and all due dates. |
| 5. | Be Attentive: electronic devices, including music devices and cell phones are not allowed in class or lab, and will be confiscated if seen or heard in class, keep them in your backpacks, please. |
| 6. | Some of the software used in class has audio and a set of headphones are required. A set of 10 headsets is available to students on a first come first serve basis. Students should bring their own head sets if they have them. |
| 7. | Personal Finance is held in a computer lab with 20 computers. A schedule to accommodate 25 students will assure that all students have fare access. |

If you need to make an appointment to talk to me at any time for extra help or anything else, just let me know.
Parents and students – for the best learning experience it will be helpful to form a partnership. The school will be in contact every few weeks concerning your child’s progress. If you become aware of your child’s difficulties before I do, please contact me. Please call with any concerns or questions.
Please tear off the bottom of this page, sign and return this portion to me, indicating that both parent and student have read these geometry expectations.
