1. No food or drinks allowed in class.
2. No passes will be allowed to get materials/books from lockers.
3. Electronic amusements - music, games, cell phones, etc. will be taken away if I see them in use during class time.
4. Seating will be assigned.
5. Homework is due at the beginning of class - I will no longer accept any late homework. You are responsible to obtain assignments if you are absent. You must arrange to make up class-work such as quizzes or exams on the day that you return to class.
