HALLWAY PASS - Crusaders, during classes you must have a PASS to be in the hallway. This shows us that you have permission to be out of the classroom. Any staff member can ask you for a pass and you must be able to show it to them. If you do not have a pass, you will be asked to go back to class and could be issued a consequence.
CELL PHONE RULE REMINDER - Cell phones should be turned off and kept in your locker throughout the school day. In addition, you may not have your earbuds in the hallway. You will be asked to remove it and you may receive a consequence.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY includes, but is not limited to: plagiarism (of ideas, work, research, speech, art, music, etc.); forgery of another’s work; presenting the results from an artificial intelligence platform as one’s own. Do your own work. Your learning depends on it.
Chromebook Maintenance - Please take care of your Chromebook. It’s yours to use and your responsibility. If there is damage done purposefully, you may have to pay for it and you could be issued a consequence. BE RESPONSIBLE for your Chromebook by taking good care of it and charging it every night.
ACT Word of the Day is digress - to stray from the main topic. The professor used to digress from his subject for a moment to tell his students a funny story.
