2.Uniforms: Wear your uniform properly at all times (proper shoes, pants and black smock)  No skirts above the knee. If your uniform is not properly worn your daily participation grade will suffer. If you continue to violate the uniform code your parents will be contacted.
3.Weekly Homework: On Monday or the first day of every week have your books and notebooks ready.  (Be sure your name, period, class name and date are on any sheets handed in. Your note book is part of your grade and will be checked weekly. On Friday or the last day of the week the note book is due. This will be posted earlier in the week. (homework assignments that are late will NOT be accepted and will be graded as a “0.” Be sure to hand in your homework ON TIME! Homework counts as 10% of your total grade.
4.Daily Participation Grade: You are graded on the Percent of the period that you work in class. If you work 90% of the time you will receive a 90% for the daily participation grade. You must complete all written and practical assignments. DO NOT make fun or harass anyone in any way (sexual, ethnic, religious, demeaning or foul language is not permitted at any time. Treat others with respect). If you use foul or abusive language in class you will receive a “0” for the daily participation grade. If you follow the rules and keep on task you will receive a 100% for your daily participation grade. This counts for 20% of your total class grade.

6.When You Need Assistance: Always ask properly for assistance, materials or supplies (Please and thank you should be used when making a request). My name is “Mrs. DiPietro, however you may call me Miss D”. Please remember that the class room clean up is your responsibility and is part of your grade. If you do not clean your area your grade will suffer and your parents will be contacted.
7.Leaving the Classroom: Never leave the classroom at any time without coming to my desk for a hall pass. Only go to the location written on the pass. If you leave the classroom without permission and a pass you will be given a “0” for your participation grade and will be written up for leaving class without permission. If you go to an area not written on the pass the same results will occur.
8.Ending Class: If time permits students will have a few minutes of professional development time at the end of class. No irons are to be used during class and students should not be applying makeup or using cell phones. before the period ends each student will return all material to proper place, wipe station with cleaner, sweep floor around station, clean mirror and clean assigned area of the class room. Each student will be assigned an area of the room to be in charge of for cleaning and keeping in order. Failure to do any of the assigned chores will result in point reduction and termination of any professional development time.

Log off, turn off your monitor, put all materials, papers, books away and push your chair in when you leave. If you come into the class and the work station is out of order, inform me at the beginning of the period.
STUDENT KITS AND PERSONAL PROPERTY: Students are responsible for their own kits and personal property. Please bring in a lock for your kit and keep all personal property in your locker. All books must be removed from the stations after class. NO PERSONAL PROPERTY WILL BE LEFT ON DESKS,STATIONS OR ANY PLACE THAT IS NOT SECURE. All kits are to be placed on shelves at the end of the class.
TEACHER’S WORK STATION: It is school policy that students are not permitted on the teacher’s work station at any time. If you want to see your grades I will show them to you privately.
FOOD AND DRINK: There is to be NO food and/ or drink in the classroom.
COATS, BOOK BAGS, LUNCHES: Overcoats are to be kept in your lockers with your lunches and book bags during class. Only have the test book at your computer work station. NO CELL PHONES AT ANY TIME ANY PHONE WILL BE TAKEN AND PARENTS WILL BE NOTIFIED. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
SUPPLIES: Each student will need a three ring binder with paper. Notebooks are essential to your grade.
GENERAL CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT: Please be sure to be careful with the equipment in the classroom. The equipment is very expensive and you will be held responsible if you damage anything. If a mouse or keyboard is damages it will take a long time to have it repaired or replaced. We use the computer room and you will be held responsible if your computer is damaged. This is your classroom and you should take pride in it.
Students that are sitting and not working will have points taken from the daily participation grade. A rubric will be used to grade daily participation.
Students will be given a warning. If certain behaviors persist I will call parents. If behavior continues the Principal will be notified.
