Classroom Procedures: • Follow student handbook for absence and tardy policy. • Hall passes are for emergencies, so please take care of personal needs before or after class. • Students are assigned to a computer station and are expected to be in their seats when the tardy bell rings and remain there unless the lesson plan requires student to move. • Make-up work: Complete a Make-up Request form the day the student returns from an absence and put it in the in-basket. No credit is given for unexcused absences, but the student may make up missed work. A Make-UP Form must be stapled to make up work and returned by date indicated in order to receive credit. If a student misses part of a group assignment, a student will lose points if it is impossible to complete what was missed. • It is the student's responsibility to make an appointment to work before or after school. All work must be done in a lab under the supervision of a Business Technology teacher. • Equipment in the room is very expensive to purchase and costly to maintain.
