7) No sleeping in class. Class time is not naptime. 8) Keep your hands and feet to yourself. Cell phones are NOT allowed in NHS classes. Once you are in my class, cell phones will need to be OFF (NOT on vibrate or ring) and in the bin provided for you at the front of the room. If we have time at the end of class, I will give you the opportunity to use it then; but only after I’ve ended instruction and work is finished not until. If you are found in violation of this rule, you will be given an opportunity – to turn the phone off and place it into the bin until the end of the school day not just the end of my class. Repeated failure to follow this rule will result in disciplinary action taken. Class is over when the bell rings and not before. Please do not begin packing up minutes before the bell ESPECIALLY if I’ve not excused you. Doing this could mean that you miss valuable and important instruction for the next day because you are too focused on rushing out the door. I will not keep you longer than necessary, so please give me your attention 100% of the time you are in my class from start to finish. You will be assigned the use of a Chromebook while in class. This computer is for your learning benefit while in class, not to play games on or watch non-class related videos with. DO NOT abuse them. When you are finished with them, you will need to place it back into its properly marked spot for housing and reattached to its charger before you leave. Failure to treat school property appropriately can result in your loss of use of the item for a period of time or the remainder of the semester. Destruction of property can lead to you being held financially liable for its replacement. Make-Up Work: It is the responsibility of students to come to class with all previously assigned assignments completed. That having been said, I understand that from time to time emergencies do happen. For that reason students returning after an excused absence that has been reported to the attendance administrator (Ms. Mason, at the office window) may make up missed work or tests provided they complete the make-up work or schedule the make-up test within a week, (7 school days) of their return to school as per Beaufort County Schools Attendance Policy. Students may only make up two absences through ASD per class period. Any questions, please feel free to ask me. Ms. Boyd
