​Being productive and making the most of our class time together.

​There is a limited amount of time to accomplish learning tasks for this class.  Being in the classroom allows students to be engaged, hear all instruction, and able to complete tasks in class.

• I understand that I will need to limit the number of times I leave class because it means I will miss instructional time and time to complete assignments.  

• I will receive 10 passes each grading period and know that if/when I run out I will not be allowed to leave class and will need to take care of my personal needs at another time.

• If I lose my card with passes, I will receive a replacement but will have at least half of my passes taken away, more if it is closer to the end of the grading period or it is clear that I had fewer available passes. 

• If I lose my card twice in a grading period I will receive a replacement card with no passes.

• I know that I cannot use anyone else's card to get more passes or in the case that I don't have my own.
