Bell-to-Bell At Sparks High School, we work bell-to-bell What does this mean? When the bell rings to start the class, students are working on the warm-up activity which will usually be keyboarding Students are not to log-off their computers until the bell rings to end the class If a student decides to log-off his or her computer before the bell rings, that student will lose one percentage point off of their citizenship grade for every minute they are logged off Take advantage of the time we have in class
