6. Absences and Substitutes
Students receive one day to complete assignments for every day absent
If there is a sub when I am not at school all work must be done as given or you will receive a 0.
You may not go to other classrooms. If you do this, you will be marked truant even if you ask the sub – my answer is no. I will have work assigned if I am not at school.
The expectation is that you will follow all classroom rules and guidelines when a substitute is in the room

10. Next is a big list of “Do Not’s”

11. iPads Rules
These are all logical appropriate rules for the use of school iPads but I will spell it out, so there are no misunderstandings:
Do not download anything on the iPad
Do not play games on the iPad.
Do not load a VPN app.
Do not use the camera or screenshot function
Do not change any of the settings
Do not go to any websites except those used for this class
Do not scratch the surface of the iPad
Do not take off the iPad cover

12. iPads
If you find anything on the iPad that does not comply with these rules please show it to me right away. If you do not, you could be held responsible.
Sounds a little stressful, but as long as you are here to work on academics and are serious about passing this class, you will have no problems.

13. Restroom Use the restroom before class
If you must use the restroom do it before the PowerPoint lecture begins or wait until it is over
Ask and receive permission before you leave
Limit using the restroom to once a week during this period (not a daily habit of leaving class)
If you come to class late, you may not leave for a drink or the restroom during class.

14. Questions? Ask Mrs. DeVault anytime you need help or clarification
You may text me at (951) (school cell phone)
I will be available by text until 6:00pm each night.
Again, text message only
I am at school from 10:30am until 4:30pm.
I have Blended classes 6th, 7th, and 8th periods. You are always welcome to come in to do work during that time (6th period is with teachers permission).
