Rules and Procedures

EXPECTATIONS FOR BEHAVIOR

  1. Be Respectful: Students will respect the learning environment. Disruptions to the learning environment will not be tolerated, including disrespecting peers, yourself, or the teacher.
  2. Be Responsible: Students will come to class with all required materials, including completed assignments and a charged laptop.
  3. Be Ready to Learn: Students will focus and be on task and leave the drama out of the classroom.

CONSEQUENCES FOR NOT MEETING THESE EXPECTATIONS

  1. Verbal Warning
  2. Student/Teacher Conference
  3. Parent Contact
  4. Office Referral*

*Some behaviors are zero tolerance and will result in an immediate office referral.

 

RESTROOM BREAKS         

Students are expected to go to the restroom in between classes. I suggest that students learn their schedules and determine when they have extra time. Emergencies will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

 

CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM (Academy Handbook)

“…cheating and plagiarism will be treated as behavioral infractions with associated consequences. Cheating can include both copying something from someone else, or knowingly providing answers or work to someone else. Students who are found guilty of cheating or plagiarism will have to retake or redo the graded assignment for academic credit, in addition to receiving a behavioral consequence.”

 

DRESS CODE

BCS and Bartlett Academy dress codes will be enforced while on campus. Students will be given a chance to change or call home to correct the dress code violation, but if the violation is repeated, it will follow the same consequences listed previously.

 

TARDIES

Students will be considered tardy if they enter the classroom after the bell rings without an excuse note. This tardy will be documented in Power School and addressed by administration. Consequences will include a conference with administration, after school detention, and ISS.

 

CELL PHONES (BCS Acceptable Use rules always apply.)

Students may bring cell phones to school, but they may not have them out or in use in the hallways or classrooms. Students may not ever use cell phones in class without the express permission of and under the supervision of a teacher.  If a student is using a cell phone without specific staff authorization, it may be confiscated and turned in to an administrator.

 

LAPTOPS

Laptops are to be used only as directed by the teacher. Students are not to open the computers until directed. You should only use the applications that you have been directed to use unless given permission to use another program. Any use of other apps (games, internet, messaging, etc.) could result in laptop privileges being taken away and paper-only assignments being assigned.

 

BARTLETT ACADEMY STANDARDS AND EXPECTATIONS

Please take the time to read the student handbook. All school and district discipline and expectations outlined in the handbook will be enforced.

 

WEEKLY ASSIGNMENTS

 

Canvas- This is our new district learning management system.

This site will be used to post notes, daily assignments, videos, and important information. Students will also use it to turn in assignments and ask questions about the class, specific assignments, or missing work.  Students should check it daily.  You are responsible for the information that is posted.

 

Savvas

We have an online textbook for this course. Students will be given login information to access this site.

 

Late work

Assignments are expected on time. Deadlines matter. Due dates are set to protect the students' and the teacher's time and minimize work piling up. Students who turn in work on time will benefit from getting feedback and opportunities to correct assignments. Late work will be graded as is. Students will lose 10% of the total points possible per day late up to 50% off.

 

Makeup work

It is your responsibility to ask for missing work. I will not remind you. I encourage you to have a classmate that you trust to get any missed notes. You should check Canvas daily for important handouts. You are responsible for the information that is posted on Canvas. You may also schedule an appointment after school to complete work. You have the same number of days absent to make up work from the day you return.

 

Tutoring

Tutoring is available by appointment from 2:00 - 3:00 pm most days. Please email me if you need help.

 

Remind App

I frequently use the Remind app to send class reminders about homework, upcoming assignments, extra credit opportunities, and school events. I encourage you to sign up using your cell phone or email. This site will not share your phone number or email.  Parents are encouraged to sign up, as well. Data plans are not required. You can use Remind without the app, but your phone must be able to accept text messages.
