ATTENDANCE: Standard school policy will apply.

TEST POLICY: Standard school policy will apply. Students will have the opportunity to make-up tests/quizzes before school each Wednesday from 6:45

HOMEWORK POLICY: Generally there will be no homework for this class because most of the assignments are completed with the computers in our lab. However, occasionally the students may have an assignment to be completed at home. In that event, the following rule applies: Homework assignments will not be accepted late without penalty (loss of points)-One day late, ½ credit deduction; two days late, no credit (ZERO). If absent from class, Standard school policy will apply with regard to makeup time permitted. In the real world, people are fired from jobs for not meeting deadlines.

If it is past the deadline date or past the specified time permitted by school policy to make-up work, the work cannot be turned in for credit. You are given a daily agenda regarding class work so you can stay current with class assignments, notes, tests, etc. Additionally, assignments are posted on a weekly basis at www.new.schoolnotes.com/ortiz2/. Check the web regularly. Meeting deadlines is one key to success in the classroom and on the job.


CHEATING: Obtaining information from any sources other than those prescribed by the teacher for the specific assignment is CHEATING. Some examples of cheating are.

-Having a cheat sheet

-Copying from someone else�s paper during a test or homework

-Using a cell phone during a test

-Talking during a test

-Plagiarism

-A student giving information will be considered as guilty of cheating as the student who receives the information.

If a student is found to be cheating, the parent will be notified and the student will receive a ZERO for the assignment, test, etc. Possibly a referral will be sent to the student's principal.


CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT: Standard School Policy regarding behavior and dress code as described in the Code of Conduct Book will apply. In addition, the following rules have been developed to ensure a successful learning environment.


Respect and professional behavior toward teacher and classmates must be displayed at all times. Positive attitudes are extremely important for success on the job, promotions, raises, etc. The classroom is a training ground for the way you will behave on the job. Treat others as you would like to be treated.


Come to class prepared (folder, pen, pencil, flash drive etc.). No visits to cars or other classes. You cannot show up for work, and then ask your manager to go home for something.

NO IPODS, MP3 players, head phones, cell phones ETC are to be used in class.

Cells phone are to remain off and in a students backpack or purse.

Students must sit in the assigned seat the entire period.

Passes are limited to 2 per grading period.

Due to the importance of our curriculum, students will not be permitted to play computer games, surf the web, visit chat rooms, or check personal e-mail. If time permits, students may utilize the FCAT practice tutorial on the computer to prep for this exam. Extra credit assignments will always be available. Unauthorized use of the computer is when a student uses the computer for anything other than the assigned class work. The student will receive a ZERO for each occurrence.

Due to the expensive equipment in the classroom, absolutely NO EATING AND DRINKING is permitted.
To keep our classroom LOOKING GOOD, please leave your work area extremely neat before leaving class. If you see something that needs cleaned-up do it!! This attitude shows initiative, and is exactly what employers are looking for in good employees. Those with initiative get the promotions and the raises. An ïts not mineï or I didn't do it attitude is unacceptable.

Take care of the computers as if your life depends on it. Under no circumstances are you permitted to download programs, delete programs, or change the settings. Do not abuse, write on, disconnect, etc. the computers. Moving a mouse or keyboards to a different machine is not permitted. Failure to comply with this request will result in a REFERRAL.

Remain in your seat until the bell�I will dismiss class when all students are sitting quietly and the classroom is in order.

Combing hair, putting on make-up, or perfume in class is unprofessional and not permitted in class. These activities should be done in the restrooms.
