 As per the Code of Conduct:

CELL PHONE USE

High School: Classroom teachers and study hall teachers
have the right to create and enforce cell phone policies in their classrooms.
Cell phone limitations in the classroom may range from a complete ban
on cell phones to allowing the use of cell phones for educational purposes.
Cell phones should not be used for entertainment purposes in classes or in
study halls. Students may not use cell phones in the hallways or in the lavatories
while class is in session. Special permission to use the phone outside of the room
during class may be granted by the teacher in case of emergency. Teachers must
clearly explain their classroom cell phone policies and include them on their
course syllabi so that students and parents fully understand them. Students are
required to follow all classroom cell phone policies. Teachers and study hall
monitors have the right to confiscate cell phones that are being used in violation
of classroom rules. Students may use cell phones between periods, during lunch,
before and after school, and on school transportation. However, all cell phone use
must follow the guidelines set forth earlier in this code of conduct, including not
speaking loudly, listening to loud music, or being disruptive, and not videoing
people or taking their pictures without permission. If listening to music with
headphones or earbuds, one of the individuals ears must remain unblocked
at all times so that they can hear people talking to them and so that they can
hear safety announcements.

Cell Phone Policy Agreement

I do not want to see a cell phone unless I give you permission. Your phone may not be on the
desk or any other location where it is visible.

You will initially be warned. After the first warning, I will ask for your phone,
place it in a brown paper lunch bag and staple it closed. The phone is left
with the student but may not be opened.

At the end of the block, the phone may be removed from the bag and
the bag is recycled.

If you refuse to submit your phone to me to place it in the bag,
your parents will be called.

Please keep cell phones in your backpacks and out of sight.

Computer Games

The computers in room 201 are for school use only.
Video games are not to be played at any time. 
You will be logged off and your account locked if this is problematic.

Parents, please understand that if you have a family emergency and
need to reach your child

immediately, call the office (845-256-4100), then the office will call
me and I can instruct your child to check their phone.

Grading Policy:  

All projects will have a rubric attached and requirements will be clearly defined.

All grades may be improved upon by completing corrections on a separate piece of paper.

With the correct answer and the reason why it is correct.

I understand all students work at a different pace. However, we do have deadlines.

If in fact something is late, typically once a zero is placed in the gradebook, late points
will be assessed.  I start with 10% off and will never go below 65 if the assignment is turned in.

I will also see if students are coming after and putting in extra time after school to complete

Work and do not assess late points if the student is working diligently to complete the assignment.
