assignment in conjunction with the number of days missed. The teacher is not responsible for seeking the

Expectation/ Rules
Students are expected to show up on time and prepared to work at the beginning of the class period.
Students are also expected to bring all necessary tools and materials to class with them. This class will contain
project-based assessments, so participation is not on a voluntary basis. Students are expected to be
productive and participate. Electronic devices may be used at appropriate times when directed. Additionally,
this class has lab components where respect is not only expected but is essential. Respect should not only be
between student and teacher, but also towards peers, materials, and tools.
