Procedures

Please become familiar with the West Forsyth High School Student Handbook. This handbook provides crucial information regarding tardiness, absenteeism, and behavioral expectations. Academic dishonesty will result in receiving a zero on the work being completed. Furthermore, the student will call the parent/guardian in the presence of the instructor and inform the parent of the incident, and receive a disciplinary notice. Other class rules that are expected are as followed:

1.  Listen and follow instructions the first time they are given. (Builds character)

2.  Be productive and prepared at all times. (Builds self-discipline)

3.  Honor yourself, others, and school property. (Builds integrity)

4.  Do your best, use your mind, and focus. (Builds self esteem)

5.  Take every opportunity to succeed, do it with integrity. (Builds determination)

Absenteeism & TARDINESS

You are expected to attend class regularly and on time. Since this is a lab course, it is imperative that you be here for class each day. If a student is absent, please understand that they will miss a significant amount of information that may be delivered. The class is designed to be hands on and very active, therefore missing a day of school may tremendously affect a student’s performance both cognitively as well as performance. It is the student's responsibility to collect missing assignment(s) from instructor. If a student misses a quiz or test, it is the student's responsibility to request to make up that quiz or test during office hours within 3 days. No quiz or test can be made-up during regular class time, planning period or lunch.

SAFETY

Safety is part of the curriculum in Technology Education. Students and parents will be required to sign a safety sheet, and students must pass all safety quizzes prior to the student entering the Laboratory. A complete safety packet will be sent home with the student during the safety portion of the curriculum.
