Mission • My goal is to provide my students with the tools, guidance, and skills that they will need to carry them through college and the rest of their lives.
Overview • Personal Introduction / Contact Information • Classroom Rules and Behavior Issues • Homework Policy • Grading and Report Cards • Fund Raisers • Parent Volunteers • Technology Acceptable Use Policy
Personal Introduction / Contact Information • My name is Ashley McGarrah, I’m 23 and I graduated from USF with a bachelors degree in photography. I hope to inspire my students and open up their eyes to all of the opportunities out there for photographers. • Contact me: (727)846-7394 • Email: Ashley.M@PantherHigh.com • Office hours: M-F 7:00am-6:00pm
Classroom Rules and Behavior Issues • Classroom rules: • Always be respectful (constructive criticism only). • No cell phones or electronics in the darkroom. • Never dump chemistry, I will change it. • Turn in assignments on time and be considerate of classmates prints. • If rules are not followed: • You will first get a warning and then a referral.
Homework Policy • There will be 5 assignments due during this semester. On the day it is due we will be having a class discussion about the students prints. • If an assignment is not turned in on time, there will be two class periods after the due date but a letter grade will be taken off for each day late.
Grading and Report Cards • Project 1- 15 pts • Project 2- 15 pts • Midterm- 30 pts • Project 3- 15 pts • Final- 35 • Report cards will be handed out after the midterm and after the final projects.
Fundraisers • There will be a car wash on Sept.30th to raise money for equipment that go in the photo lab, which the students will be using daily. • Later on in the semester on Nov.18th there will be a school wide bake sale to raise money for all of the extra curricular activities. Including photography class!
Parent Volunteers • Our class will need at least two parent volunteers to come into class and model for us. If you would like to help out please send me an email and I will give further details. We can schedule up to 10 photo shoots, so if you would like to volunteer please let me know as soon as possible. The students love this part about the class, and so do I!
Technology Acceptable Use Policy • Panther High School provides students with computers to use in this class and each student will be given great responsibility. • Students may not visit any inappropriate websites such as social medias, video players, or websites that the county has banned. • Students should not relocate computers and always have my supervision before they use them, if not they will receive a referral.
