Expectations
Come
into class with the expectation that you will have documents
to key and work to do. All work can be completed in class
in the time allotted. Late work will be accepted, but only
up to the Friday following the week it was assigned. Room

will be required to have a current Computer Usage Agreement.
If a student misuses a computer he or she will be referred
to the administration for immediate action. Misusing a computer
can be anywhere from a one day suspension to police action.
