    electronics

    You WILL NEED your iPAD for my classes; however, you need to be using the iPAD for academic reasons!  It it s a tool for you to access your materials and complete assignments, NOT for you to watch youtube, message/text friends, or play games.  You will be told that all iPads need to be flat on the desk  and closed when you are to be focused on active instruction.  I don't mind your phones, but I DO mind you texting in my class!  Please don't!  I know when you are even if you think I don't ;) 

    consequences

    •        In the interest of fairness, all students will be given a verbal warning to correct the rule violation

    •        If the violation is not corrected the student will be given their “Official Final Warning” and may be given a teacher consequence 

    •        Students who continue to violate rules after the “Official Final Warning” and teacher consequences will receive a written referral to the office 

    •        Severe infractions may result in bypassing a warning and involving administration directly
