-Always try your BEST!  Producing work of QUALITY is expected.  I believe in what you have to offer!

-Follow the school rules.
-Demonstrate good behavior outside of our classroom: at your specials, during lunchtime, at assemblies, and on field trips.
-Walk quietly in the hallway.

-Have all of your supplies nearby (ie. Chromebook, sharpened pencils, notebooks, etc.).

-Only work on the assignments given to you.
-Only visit the websites your teacher has shown you.
-Complete work on your own, to your best ability. Do NOT copy and paste information from the Internet. This is called PLAGIARISM.  Believe in your own original work and what you can produce, because it can be amazing!

-Set up your device in a place that is QUIET and as free of distractions as possible. For example, setting up your device in the living room with the TV on will not help you learn!
-Avoid distractions such as responding to friends' emails or Hangout chats during class time.

-Be ready for scheduled Google Meets a few minutes EARLY so we can start on time.  Google Meets are MANDATORY.  Many of these Meets will be the time for our entire class to come together as one!
-Again, find a QUIET place free from distractions and limit movement to avoid causing a distraction to others.
-Cameras MUST be ON so dress appropriately, maintain eye-contact, and refrain from chewing gum, eating, or drinking.  Also, sitting in a chair at a table or a desk is required.
-Microphones MUST be OFF (unless called on by the teacher).  If you have a question, you may raise your hand until called on.
-You MUST remain in the Google Meet until the teacher dismisses you or points will be deducted from participation.  If you need to leave for the restroom, you should follow normal school rules.

-Check your GMAIL frequently for all notifications such as, emails, comments on Google Documents, and more to keep up-to-date on all classroom happenings and your personal progress.  
-If a teacher is reaching out to you in a private post or on your digital documents, you MUST REPLY and use your best efforts to work with your teacher.  We are here to help you and look forward to collaborating with you!
-When a teacher emails you, you MUST not only respond back but also reply appropriately. For instance, if a teacher emails you reminding you to complete assignments, you will reply as such:

Dear Miss/Ms./Mrs./Mr. _____________,

Thank you for letting me know which assignments I need to complete. I will finish them by the end of the day.

Sincerely,

First name, Last Name
