Cell Phone Use:
In this class (with permission) cell phones are for: photographing artwork, researching reference images, and to listen to music quietly (with earbuds) during independent work time only. Cell phones should not be seen (ie) kept in book bag with headphones extended out when listening to music. I see it I keep it
​
5 weeks no Cell Phone Use CC
<!> In this class cell phones are NOT for: watching movies/shows/videos, texting, taking selfies, snapchats, social networking,
Pokemon Go, or making calls. This is your warning for these offenses. <!> I see it I keep it !!!
If devices become a distraction or a disruption to learning they will be taken after one warning or no warning (See <!> above) .
Penalty Procedures:
-
Warning
-
Conference/ Call Home
-
Referral
Certain offenses like defiance, endangering/ threatening others, and or being disruptive can go straight to administration
I prefer settling problems with students like adults rather than taking issues to outside arbitrators like parents or administration

Following Directions, Growth/ Progress, Creativity, Craftsmanship, Effort, And Work Habits.
