You must arrive, ready to work when the bell rings • You must ask permission if you need to leave the classroom to use the washroom or for any other reason • You are responsible for making up all material missed (including tests) if you are absent. Look at the class website or ask a classmate before class • If you know you will miss a class, let me know before the class so alternate arrangements can be made

  5. Electronic Devices • Under no circumstances are cell phones permitted in this classroom! • iPods and MP3 players may be used only during individual work time and must be turned off during lessons, presentations & tests • If I see any cell phone in class, it will be confiscated and returned at the end of the day • Continued presence of cell phones in class will result in increasingly severe consequences
