class)

Clean- upEveryone cleans!“Leave no trace”

As a class we are responsible for leaving the room better than we found it.

•Do not clean up early.•Clean up after yourself.•Expect to help with extra class clean-up jobs•Have a seat when you have completed cleaning until you are dismissed by Ms. Van Wyngeeren to line up at the door.•Push chairs in.

General

•If we go anywhere we must stay together and stay silent

•You must fill out your own pass completely if you need to go anywhere, bring me a pen. I do not give passes for drinks.

•Bathroom Passes- 4 given for every 9 weeks. Once they are gone you need to wait until the hour is over.

•Tardy students come in quietly. Do not disturb class. Sign in on the “tardy sign-in” sheet by the entrance and get to work.

•Fire - out the door to the RIGHT, STAY TOGETHER listen for attendance

•Tornado- in the hallway with back against the wall.

•Lock down- silent, sitting on the floor in the corner out of sight from windows.

I’m done! Now what?•First thing, I would be very aware of how much time is given to a project. If you are done before everyone else around you, you may need to put in more time.

•Check your project with Ms. V see if I have any suggestions.•Finish any Art related projects/homework

•Enrichment Activities: specified by project.

•Art time is for art only. If you finish a project early expect to have an alternative project or to draw in your sketchbook for the remainder of the hour. (Homework for other classes is for home or studyhall)

BYOD “Bring Your Own Device We are a “Bring Your Own Device” campus. This means a student

with a smart-phone, tablet, and laptop may use their device at teacher or administrator directed times and activities. We will use devices in class for image research, e-magazines, and photography. YOU DON’T NEED TO PURCHASE OR BRING A DEVICE TO SCHOOL. My apology to students who hoped I would be THE teacher who MADE their parents buy them a smart phone.

  ***Guidelines: Students will come into class with devices turned

off (not silenced) and put away (out of sight). They will be used only for academic purposes when instructed during my designated 50 minute art class period. In case of emergency parents may contact the front office for communication or choose to use non-academic time.
