Procedures for Mr. Aragon’s Class:

Every student will be required to purchase:
4GB USB Flashdrive, One Subject Spiral Notebook
In addition students will be assigned to bring one of the following as determined by teacher on first day:
· Pencils (#2HB) (12pk)

3. Internet/Computer usage
I understand and will abide by the Socorro ISD Acceptable Use Policy for Network Use. I understand that any violation of the regulations is unethical and may constitute a criminal offense. Should I commit any violation, my access privileges may be revoked, and school disciplinary action may be taken. Additionally, appropriate legal action may be taken. As the parent or guardian of this student, I have read the Socorro ISD Acceptable Use Policy for Network Access. I understand that this access is designed for educational purposes and that Socorro ISD has taken steps to eliminate controversial materials. I further understand that correct and appropriate use of the Network will be emphasized. However, I also recognize that it is impossible to restrict access to all controversial materials,
and I agree that I will not hold SISD responsible for materials acquired on the Network. Further, I accept full responsibility for supervision if and when my child’s internet use takes place outside of a school setting. I understand that Network access affords my son/daughter powerful opportunities and responsibilities to become a learner in the 21st century. Parents or guardians who are interested in further information may contact the campus their child attends, or SISD’s Department of Technology
Services.
4. Studio Time- Project Time
Your independent work on your projects will take the majority of the class time. I expect a low noise level with maximum productivity. You may talk to your classmates as you work or get out of your seat as needed for supplies. Points will be earned each day. A student has a maximum of 100 points per day. You will be graded according to the following rubric:
100-Worked the entire class period, was respectful and cooperative, follow all class rules.
90- Was on Task 90% of the class period, cooperative with more than 10 minutes of down time, followed class rules.
80- Was on Task 80% of the class period, cooperative with more than 20 minutes of down time, did not follow some of the class rules.
70-Worked part of the class period with more than 25 minutes of down time, or was disrespectful or uncooperative and did not follow some of the rules.
0-Did not work, wasted more than 30 minutes of class period, and/or was disrespectful or uncooperative and did not follow the rules. Automatic zero for anyone receiving an office referral.
5. Cleanup and Closure (C&C)
The last 5-10 minutes of class are for cleaning up. Everyone is responsible for cleaning up their own work area and leaving it cleaner than they found it. All class supplies and work should be returned to their appropriate place. Sometimes I may need to review some major concepts in C&C and other times we may have a quick in-progress critique. The bell does not dismiss you from class, I do. Absolutely NO lining up at the door!!!
6. Directions and Discussion (D&D)
During this time, I will be giving important directions or demonstrating something you will be doing that day. The day’s objectives will be given and major concepts will be discussed. Please no talking during instruction time as well as all electronic devices must be turned off and put away.
