Work at School
All work for Computer Skills must be completed at school. If you need more time than is allotted in class or if you need to make up work after an absence, you can in my room during Home Base or after school. The IMC is open before school, but you will need to get a copy of the assignment instructions from me the day before in order to do the work. If a project requires my assistance, you will have to set a make-up time with me so I’ll be available to help you.
Guidelines for Success
Be prepared for class. Every day you are expected to have your planner and a pen/pencil.
We only have 40 minutes for class, so once you’re in my room, I expect you to stay.
Promptly take care of drinks and restroom visits before you come to class. You must have your punch card punched to leave the room.
Follow the on-screen directions for the class.
Pay attention. You MUST listen carefully to my directions and watch what I'm doing on the screen. Don’t talk when I’m talking or when you should be listening and/or working.
When we’re working as a group to learn new material, we use the "Help Your Neighbor" method. Keep an eye on their computer and help if needed. This way we can keep the class moving. However, on assignments you must do your own work and ask me if you need help.
Attend class and be on time.
Tardies
Because we do so much work together, we cannot start class until all students have arrived. Don’t make us wait on you. If you arrive much later than the rest of your class and do not have a pass, you are tardy and will receive a punch on your punch card. If you do not have your punch card, you will receive a lunch detention.
Absences
Try not to be absent because it can be difficult to catch up on the work you missed. Because work for this class must be made up at school, you will have two days for each day missed to complete your missed work. The work you missed will be listed on the screen until your two-day makeup period has passed.
Take care of class property.
Keep your work area clean. Push your chairs in when you leave them.
Changing computer settings and using the Internet, Email, or any other programs without permission are not allowed. You are NOT allowed to be on the Internet except at the END of class if there is extra time and you have been given permission.
Gum is allowed as long as I don't see bubbles, hear popping, or find gum stuck in inappropriate places.
Food, drinks, and candy are not allowed in the computer lab.
SAVE PAPER!
Only print your work if you have been instructed to do so, and be sure to print preview first to make sure your assignment is correct and has your name on it.
Do not print anything for any other classes without permission.
Recycle any unneeded papers.
Return any project instructions to Mrs. Beals at the end of class.
