Attendance and Punctuality
You are expected to be in class, on time, everyday. You must arrive, ready to work when the bell rings (this means having your books/pencils with you)
You must ask permission (en français) if you need to leave the classroom to use the washroom or for any other reason
You are responsible for making up all material missed (including tests) if you are absent. Look at the class website or ask a classmate before class
If you know you will miss a class, let me know before that class so you can be given work to complete
Electronic Devices Under no circumstances are cell phones permitted in this
classroom unless you have prior permission the only exception to this rule is to use the Word Reference App
– you MUST ASK before taking your phone out or I will confiscate it.
iPods and MP3 players (with headphones) may be used only during individual work time and must be turned off during lessons, presentations and tests
If I see any cell phone in class, you will have one warning, then it will be confiscated and returned at the end of the day
Continued presence of cell phones in class will result in increasingly severe consequences
Class websiteToday’s information, along with daily lessons,
announcements and useful links will be posted on the class website
If you miss class, you are responsible for finding out what you missed by checking the website
