Rules and Expectations
In order for the classes to run smoothly, there are rules and expectations that apply to all. Failure to follow these will lead to consequences from a Friday detention for first time small offences to administrative action and possible expulsion.
All students who have classes that meet in Room 123 are required to sign a Computer Use Agreement. If a student is under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must sign as well. A form is given to each student on his or her first day in the class. That student then has up to three days to have the document signed. If it is not returned by then, the students will not be allowed to use a computer in Room 123 for the remainder of the block or until the Computer Use Agreement is returned signed. Breakdown of Class Rules: NO Personal Electronics Cell phones, personal tablets, etc. must be put away and out of sight before entering the class. Earbuds may be used on occasion ONLY for school use. Otherwise, earbuds may not be visible (hanging over shirt, dangling over ears, etc.) or used during class. It will be assumed that a personal device is in use if an earbud is in the ear. Use School Appropriate Language PAHS is a learning environment and my goal is to train students to be able to control their language and behavior in certain settings as well as foster a respectful classroom. Be Respectful Because all students learn differently and have different needs, students are asked to be courteous to others. This means that if a student has the floor or the teacher is speaking, students should be actively listening. This also means that students are conscious that their behavior is not distracting to other students. |

Academic Code of Conduct
An Academic Code of Conduct states that a student will act with honesty and integrity. Specifically, this talks about plagiarism and correctly crediting research. Whether it is intentional or not, plagiarism is still plagiarism and can result in a smaller consequence such as getting a 0% F grade on your project, to expulsion from the school.

Art Plagiarism
If someone else's hands were responsible for any movement, mark, or click on your work, you will not receive credit for that work! The only rare exception is if I (the teacher) touch your mouse or your drawing, of course that is acceptable because I will know exactly what I did on your work.

- turning in someone else's work as your own
- copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
- failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
- giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation

- copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on "fair use" rules)
