art 1 A4_jan 17-20

Your grade_update:

Timesheets
For now, we are no longer keeping timesheets. We may continue Timesheets later. Instead of Timesheets, I will give you a daily employability skills grade based on what you do in class. Here is a link to how that grade is determined.

ACT words
We will still do ACT words at the beginning of class, but there are changes.

If you are in the Art, Design and Communications (ADC) Academy, or the Freshman Academy, you will submit your ACT word assignment through Edmodo, using your laptop. All ADC and Freshman Academy students must submit this assignment on line, using Edmodo. If you are in these academies and you do not submit through Edmodo, your grade will be a zero.

If you are not in the ADC or Freshman academies, you may submit this assignment on paper. You are encouraged to submit the assignment online as well. You could work with someone who has a laptop, or you could use another computer to submit the ACT words assignment through Edmodo.

Electronic devices
Cell phones, portable music players, headphones, earbuds, and other electronic devices are not permitted. This is a school rule.

If I see one of those items, I will ask you to give it to me.

If you give it to me, I will give it back to you at the end of class.

If you choose not to give it to me, or contiunue to break this rule, I will write a referral.

The only exception is your school-issued laptop & ear buds, I believe. That means if you are using your school-issued laptop and ear buds for assigned work, this is permitted....at this point in time. This could change if my understanding is incorrect.
