The following are classroom expectations, requirements, guides, and procedures that everyone in Mrs. Lockwood's classes needs to follow and recognize as important for an effective, productive experience and enjoyable working conditions:
1. Be prompt
- Each student will be expected to be in the classroom on time, be seated and working when the bell rings.
- If you have an excused absence, you will be expected to arrange a convenient time to makeup work missed. It is the student's responsibility to find out what work was missed.
- Only the last two minutes of class time may be used to clean up your work area.
- Students must remain seated at the end of the hour.
- No standing by workstations or the doorway.
- Students must remain seated at the end of the hour.
- The seven minutes in between classes is the time to use the restroom.
- If you must use the restroom, you must get a hall pass and be gone no longer than 5 minutes. Only one person may be gone from the classroom at a time.
- If you have a medical problem requiring you to use the restroom frequently, please provide your instructor with a doctor's excuse.
- Other personal or school related items should be taken care of before, in between, or after classes--no exceptions.
- No e-mail, chat, or games played at any time in the classroom, unless it is part of the assignment.
- MP3 players, CD players, hand-held gaming devices, cell phones, etc. are not to be used in the classroom unless you have permission from Mrs. Lockwood. These items will be confiscated, sent to the office, and a parent must pick them up.
- No assignments for other classes done during class time without permission.
- If you finish early move to the next item on your checklist.
- Talking should not interfere with class performance.
- Save computer work periodically in case of power loss.
- Students found in prohibited sites (for example: MySpace, Facebook, gaming sites, etc.) will lose computer privileges.
- Each student is expected to clean up his/her workstation and put away all materials, tools, and supplies--this includes picking up papers, printouts, and waste paper.
- Absolutely no CDs, flash drives, or similar items are to be brought in from outside this classroom. Only with the instructor's permission these items or other saving devices be allowed to be used to save or retrieve work.
- Do not change menu options, windows, screen backgrounds, or screen savers on the monitors.
- Do not rotate monitors. This causes wear and tear on the equipment and issues for the person who uses the computer after you.
- Please keep feet on floor and off desks.
- No food, pop, or other drinks are allowed in the classroom
- Water is okay if it is in a clear bottle and not sitting next to a computer; any equipment damaged by spilled water will be the student's responsibility at replacement cost.
- In order to develop a proper attitude toward business ethics and plagiarism, cheating will not be tolerated.
- A first offense will result in a ZERO on the assignment and a zero FOR ALL PARTIES INVOLVED.
- Other consequences will follow as stated in the student handbook.
- Always login as yourself—do not login as someone else
- Do not plagiarize
- Be honest
- Use only lab chairs for seats. No sitting on desks or workstations, no putting feet up on desks, or leaning back in chairs.
- Do not roll around the classroom on chairs.
- No horseplay in the classroom. This includes shooting baskets with the trash can, rolling around on chairs, or throwing anything. Keep your hands to yourself.
