CELL PHONE POLICY
Phones are to be PUT AWAY in
your backpack or in your
designated phone slot during
class.
 The ONLY time you are to have
your phone out is when you
have my permission.
 WHY?? You are here to
LEARN. Learning to be away
from your cell phone is an
important skill to master in the
21st century. In addition, it is
rude, and learning manners is
also important.

CONSEQUENCES
Cell phones – If I see you with your cell phone at
an inappropriate time you will first receive a
warning, and second, it will be confiscated and you
will be written up.
**If I see you using a cell phone CAMERA,
you will immediately be written up.
 Late to class – you will lose class participation
points each time you have an unexcused absence.
If you are late four times you will be written up.

CLASS PARTICIPATION
My theory – class participation in my book does not
mean how many times you raise your hand during
class.
 If you come to class on time, do what you are
supposed to do, and follow the rules you will
receive full class participation points.
 If you are written up you will receive ZERO class
participation points for the day.
 Keep in mind, by the end of the marking period the
points add up and will either help or hurt your
grade.
 Amount – you will receive three points a day.

1 point – being on time.
 1 point – following directions/ daily class procedure
 1 point – following rules.

