Mr.

Kim’s
Classroom Rules, 2010-2011

1. All North Kent Student Handbook rules apply in my classroom.

2. All Technology Acceptable Use policies apply in my classroom.

3. Be respectful to others, the computers, textbooks and all school property.

4. No students are allowed in the teacher’s work area. I consider this my office and
you are required to ask permission before entering this area, even to get something from
the printer.

5. Do not “Expectorate in my waste basket.”

6. Do not swear in front of me or where I might hear it. I will bring it to your attention
and expect an immediate apology for using such language. If you refuse to apologize
immediately, you will be asked to leave. If you swear directly at me, you will not even
have the opportunity to apologize and will be asked to leave. I will determine what is or
is not a swear word.

7. Do not quit work early and stand by the door, stay at your work station until the bell
rings.

8. Do not go to social networking sites, like facebook, game sites, audio or video
streaming sites or use proxy servers that are not part of my direct instructions.

9. No textbooks are to leave the classroom without my permission.

10. The Lab will be closed during lunch. Do not even ask to remain in the room
unsupervised.

11. No sound or music should be heard from your computer, use headphones at all
times.

12. You may listen to mp3 players if you are working on assigned work, use
headphones at all times and keep the volume at what I determine as an acceptable level.
Do not listen to music while I am giving direct instruction or you will lose the devise and
possibly your listening privilege.

13. One person may be out of the room at any one time, and must use the pass.

14. You may call me Mr. Kim or Mr. Pfeiffer.

 Grades and Expectations, 2010-2011
Your PARTICIPATION in school and in the classroom is critical to your success. You
can obtain 20 points per day, that’s 100 points per normal 5 day week. Participation
means, showing up on time, involved in the instructional activity and/or working on
assigned tasks for that day. If you are tardy, you will lose 10 points. If you do not work
or stay on task, you will lose between 10-20 points. An unexcused absence will result in
loss of 20 points for that day. For an excused absence or documented absence, you will
be given the opportunity to make up those participation points by asking me. This
usually will involve the completion of a “spuzzle” on your own time. Make sure you
date the spuzzle, so I can restore points to the proper day. An absence for a school
activity or for school business will not result in the loss of your points for that day, under
normal circumstances. Participation will account for 20% of your overall grade.

Use the 5 minutes between classes to use the restroom. Some students never have to
leave the classroom. Some students feel they need to leave the classroom everyday, at
least once. This is not acceptable. A hall pass is required and I control the hall pass.
Leaving a class for anything is a privilege not a right. If you leave without a hall pass, do
not return to class; go directly to the Dean’s office, a write-up will follow and you will
lose the future privilege to ask me for a hall pass.

North Kent progress reports are given out after the 10th day and 25th day of the quarter.
Progress reports and grades for E2020 classes will reflect the progress and grades taken
directly from E2020. You are expected to keep normal progress in E2020 and the
program will inform you daily of your standing. In addition, a parent e-mail address is
required on your E2020 account, so progress updates will be sent to the listed parent or
guardian on a regular basis. Your team leader will also be checking on you as well as the
teacher facilitating the class. Don’t fall behind on E2020.

Team is a CR (credit) or NC (no credit) class, heavily based on participation.

In regular content classes, 65% is the cut-off point for a passing grade. Below is my
grading scale:

A+ = 98 to 100%
A = 97.99 to 95%
A- = 94.99 to 92%
B+ = 91.99 to 89%
B = 88.99 to 86%
B- = 85.99 to 83%
C+ = 82.99 to 80%
C = 79.99 to 77%
C- = 76.99 to 74%
D+ = 73.99 to 71%
D = 70.99 to 68%
D- = 67.99 to 65%
E = 64.99 to 0%
Most jobs do not require you to work at home after hours. School at North Kent is your
job right now. You are required to work at your job, here in school. No homework is
required. If you need to work at home, to finish an assignment, you are welcome to do
so, but not required. Some E2020 students may choose to work at home. Students will
sometimes tell me that they prefer to work at home. This does not mean that you don’t
have to work while in school, use school time for school work.

One of my expectations for you is that you become a quality producer. This means that
any assignment or product you produce for a class needs to meet a certain level of
quality. Since you are in a computer lab, I expect all assigned work to be computer
generated. I will not accept hand written assignments of any kind.

Organization is another important skill for you to develop. Organization of your

computer files is required. I do not accept printed assignments, all your work must be
labeled or named correctly and located in a properly labeled class file on your network
drive space. I will not look for assignments elsewhere. The computers will not lose
your work, so don’t use that as an excuse. Instruction will be given about how and where
to save your work. On occasion I will ask for something to be printed out, so do not print
unless I specifically ask for it.

60% of your grade will be based on Assigned Work. Complete all assignments on
time, due dates will be posted on the bulletin board next to the television. Late
assignments will be worth ½ credit.

20% of your grade will be based in the form of a final assessment or project.

Important Note:
Talk to me if you are having difficulty with the work or ahead of the time if you need
help keeping up. One of the most important things you can do at North Kent is to come
to school everyday. The teachers here all want to see you progress and graduate. That
should be your primary focus.
