materials. Students have access to the
curriculum both at school and at home via the Internet. The online curriculum will be supplemented
with hands-on labs and direct teaching.
The first semester is theory/concept/vocabulary intensive. The second semester is …….well, it’s more
fun.
Comprehensive
information on the Cisco networking Academy is available at the Cisco site.
Grading and Homework
|
Quizzes will not be announced in
advance and will usually be over the basic concepts of homework assignments
or activities covered in class. Unless
otherwise stated, all homework is due on the following class meeting. |
|
89.5% = A |
79.5= B |
69.5% = C |
<69.5% or incomplete. See student handbook |
Attendance, Tardies and
Posted Assignments
See the student handbook for the
school attendance and tardy policies. Students are responsible for all concepts
and work covered during an absence. Help
with make-up work is available before and after school (and during the day
depending upon instructor availability).
Daily activities/assignments will be posted under my name at on the High
School web site. It is the student
responsibility to check the daily activities/assignments web page when they are
absent and ask for make up work or help with missed concepts.
Students
with attendance issues
may have difficulty keeping up with the work/concepts. Active participation in class is a key
component to student success. When
students miss class, they miss instruction.
Missing Work:
The teacher will not pursue or remind
students regarding missing work.
Loss of Computer Privileges
Students are held accountable to the
district and school policies related to proper use of the computer network and
Internet access. Loss of computer access
due to inappropriate behaviors will make it very difficult (maybe impossible)
for the student to meet the outcomes of the class. It is not the responsibility of WRHS, WRHS
staff or WRHS administrators to make accommodations of any kind to any course
if a student forfeits computer access privileges at WRHS.
Substitute Teachers
Students are expected to cooperate with
substitute teachers at all times.
Students failing in this will receive 2 points on the discipline plan
and a 3-hour detention.
Other General
Expectations
Students are expected to come to class
ready to participate and learn. In
general students and staff know what constitutes acceptable and desirable
behaviors in class. Any possible list
would not only be too long, but would doubtless leave something out. For general guidelines, see the student
handbook.
