Bathroom Policy: Students should use the restroom and get water before class begins. I allow 3 bathroom passes per six weeks. After you have used your passes up, please do not ask me to use the restroom unless it is an absolute emergency. If I notice that you are abusing this privilege, I will then phone your parents/guardians to notify them of the situation. Be sure to take the bathroom pass with you when you leave the room and ALWAYS follow the sign out procedures.

Absentee Policy: ATTENDANCE IN GRADES 9-12: The Onslow County Student Attendance Policy 4400 will be followed. Parents will be notified after the third, sixth and tenth absence. Students who miss more than 10 days in a semester, shall NOT be awarded course credit except by determination of the principal/designee upon careful review of the student’s records.

It is your responsibility to check for the work that you missed in the “Missed Work” area of the classroom. Students are responsible for all work missed and the work must be turned in within FIVE days of returning to class. Parents may request that assignments be sent home if the student will be absent for an extended period of time.

Helpful Hints:  Use the restroom and get water before you come to class. Remember you only get three bathroom passes per six weeks.  Come prepared for class. This is a Marketing course that requires that we cover a lot of terminology. Expect to take notes on a regular basis!  Always raise your hand and wait to be acknowledged before speaking.  Know the quiet signal!  Never throw handouts, notes, and returned work away! I conduct periodic notebook/binder checks throughout the semester. This should be an easy 100 if you keep up with all your class materials.  Promptly enter my room, get your notebook/binder and have a seat. Class begins when the tardy bell rings.  Label all assignments with the proper header which includes name, date, class and period.  Computer use in this course is necessary. No outside storage devices may be brought into the classroom – this is for virus prevention. You are encouraged to SAVE all your work in your Office 365 account. You can also use your Edmodo backpack as well. Jacksonville High School

 Internet use is for assignments only. Any violations may result in detention or revocation of computer use privileges.  Configurations on the computers are not to be changed. This includes screen savers, settings, background, appearance or any changes to the desktop.  All students will remain in seats when the bell rings until dismissed by the teacher.  Students cannot be exempt from the final exam. State policies indicate that all students taking a CTE course must participate in the final exam at semester end.

The Bottom Line: I am here to teach and you are here to learn. This can be a successful semester if we ALL work together to follow the rules and policies set forth.
