General Conduct
The expectations, rules, procedures and consequences of the classroom are intended to keep the classroom environment fun, safe, orderly, and productive.
Responsibility in rehearsal is putting your music in order, having your pencil, being on time and practicing sections of your music that needed work.
Responsiveness means that you watch and listen to your conductor so you can respond to different conducting gestures. This is how choirs make music.
Active participation means that you are always working on your music during rehearsal. If your director is addressing the needs of another section you are listening and taking notes in your score or possibly looking over a section you need to master or auditing your part. If discussion is taking place during rehearsal you listen to all questions and responses since most if not all will apply to you.
GENERAL CLASS EXPECTATIONS

Respect others’ property. Don't expect that others will clean-up your messes. Please pick-up after yourself.
Respect yourself and the rest of us by using appropriate language and wearing appropriate clothing.

Arrive to class on time & ready to learn
Do not cheat, plagiarize, or copy work
- Cheating is completely unacceptable. If I see you cheating on any assignment… even for another class… I will give you a zero and report the incident to the other teacher as well as your assistant principal and parents.
- Plagiarism (copying work from another source without giving proper credit) is completely unacceptable. If you plagiarize on any assignment you will earn a “0” on that assignment with no opportunity to re-do the work for credit.
- Offensive, derogatory, and profane terms are not tolerated. In order to have a safe classroom environment where all students feel comfortable, no put downs, swear words, or slang words with demeaning connotations will be accepted. Remember, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all!
CLASS PROCEDURES
Turn in homework to the assigned bin
- Homework is due at the beginning of the hour when you come to class. I will not accept work completed once class begins. Turn in your homework to your hour bin. Turn absent/late work into the absent/late work bin. I reserve the right to not accept late work.
- If you are tardy, I follow the tardy policy outlined in your student handbook.
- Excessive tardies will affect your learning readiness grade and have other consequences, such as detentions, etc
- Make arrangements to take quizzes and tests immediately. It is your responsibility to make these arrangements, I will not and cannot track you down. If you do not make-up quizzes in a timely manner (before graded quizzes are returned to the students who were present), you will earn a “zero” on the quiz or test.
- UNEXCUSED absences on the day of an assignment, test, quiz, project, presentation, paper, etc. will result in a zero.
