Course and Classroom Expectations:
 Arrive to class on time
 Be respectful, safe, and responsible
 Participate in daily classroom discussions and activities
 Keep your hands to yourself
 Give your best effort each and every day

Tardy Policy:
In accordance with the WHS tardy policy:
When the bell rings, you must be in the classroom or you will be given a
tardy slip and a note will be sent home.

Make-Up Work:
Missing assignments may be completed and submitted for full credit
within one week of the due date, and only if the student missed the
assignment due to an excused absence (illness, appointment, planned
absence, emergency, etc.)

Cell Phones:
Cell phone use is NOT permitted during class time unless otherwise
instructed by the teacher for use in an education activity for learning
purposes. If a student is using his/her cell phone during an unauthorized
time, he/she will be asked to take the phone to the office where it will
remain for the rest of the school day. Cell phones must be hidden during
class time.

Leaving the Classroom:

Students will be given 2 hall passes per 9 week grading period. Students
have the option to use these for a pass or tardy excuse or save them
toward improving their 20% participation score each grading period.

Food and Drink: Water in a container with a lid is the only allowed
beverage in class. No food is allowed in class unless it is a part of a
classroom activity.

Assigned Seating: Students will be assigned seats.

Note: We will work bell to bell, meaning that as soon as the tardy bell rings
class will begin. Phones must be hidden, conversations must be ended, and
students’ attention must be on the teacher. Students will not be dismissed
by the bell, they will be dismissed by the teacher. Students will not pack up
early or exit the classroom before the teacher dismisses them.
