Requirements and Expectations
Appropriate Behavior:
All of us are here to learn, and our class will run professionally when we treat each other with respect and courtesy. By treating your fellow students with respect and courtesy, they will treat you in that manner as well. You can show respect for your classmates by listening attentively. If you have questions, or disagree with another student's opinions, please wait until they are finished and raise your hand so that our discussions will be orderly and productive.

Dress Code:
Students must follow the Warren Mott Dress Code. Student dress should be in good taste. It should not cause health or safety hazards, be distracting to other students, cause a disruption to the learning environment, or cause damage to school property.

Requirements and Expectations
- You must wear your school I.D., on your Warren Mott lanyard, to enter my classroom.

- All assignments are due on the assigned day at the beginning of the class hour. I do not accept late assignments.
- Work missed due to an excused absence(s) may be made up. You are allowed one make-up day per day absent. Absences on quiz and test days must be verified within 48 hours. If your absence is not verified within 48 hours, you will earn a grade of “0”.

If you are caught using an ECD in my class, I will ask you to place the device in the ECD holding bin on my desk. Failure to follow this directive will be considered insubordination and will result in a referral to your Assistant Principal and disciplinary action.
- Talking or attempting to make contact with another student during a quiz or test will result in a grade of zero and a disciplinary referral.
- If you are absent the day an essay is due, you must e-mail it to me, and I must receive it, before the beginning of your class hour. Failure to do so will result in a grade of zero.
- You will earn a grade of “0” if you do not meet or exceed the minimum required page length for an essay. (MLA: 23 lines of text per page).
- It is your responsibility, as a young adult, to print your essay before the beginning of your class hour.
