Mrs. Woodruff’s office hours will be before school and/or during AcaPrep on Schedule 2, by appointment only due to part-time teaching schedule.

Absences: After an absence, a student has one school day for each day missed to make up work/tests, regardless of the number of days absent. If many days were missed, please schedule an appointment with me to formulate a plan for the completion of make-up work. Make-up work for extended absences (over 3 days) may be requested through the Counseling Office and picked up there.

Retake Policy/Procedure: Every student has the ability to re-take one major test per semester with proof of remediation as determined by the teacher. You may re-take this exam during at an arranged time before or after school within one week. On the exam, you must indicate that this will be a retake exam. The original score and the retake score will be averaged together for your new exam score. If you fail to arrive at the arranged time, you will forfeit your right to take this exam. Make-up Policy: This class will have classroom demonstration activities and group/cooperative learning. Students need to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT with the teacher to attend a lab to do make up work. For cooperative learning and in class activities, an alternate assignment may be assigned. Written assignments may be assigned for these types of class activities that are missed. The assignment will be determined at the teacher’s discretion. Any discussion about make up work must be done at the end of the class period or after school.

Long Term Project Policy: Long Term Projects are due on the date and time assigned, as defined in writing in advance by the teacher. NO EXCEPTIONS. This supersedes the make-up policy. If the student is absent from the class or the class does not meet that day, the project is still due on the day assigned

Daily Device Use (iPads)

Students should come to school with their iPads charged and ready to use in each class every day. Within each classroom, there are three possible technology environments. Teachers will identify for students the environment expected during their class period. These environments are described below:

Red: No device use allowed. Devices are to be off and put away. If a device is out and being used at this time, students may receive disciplinary consequences and/or zeroes if appropriate. This environment may be necessary for testing or non-electronic based assessments.

Black: Limited device use allowed. Students may use devices in accordance with teacher instruction in a prescribed manner. Students may be asked to place devices face down on their desk until appropriate to use. Teachers may ask to see students’ open apps and require that all apps are closed with the exception of a specific one or two. Games should not be open in this environment unless the teacher indicates a specific game may be used.

Green: Open device use. Students may use their device independently to take notes, complete assignments, conduct research, communicate with the teacher, check grades, and other appropriate educational uses of the device. Students should not access inappropriate content or cause disruption in this environment.

Devices may not be used to record or take photos of other people without their consent. Consequences for classroom disruptions and misuse of devices will follow a progressive discipline model, beginning with a phone call home and progressing to office referrals for repeated or more serious offenses. Students who have devices out during a Red environment or during testing, may lose credit on their test or quiz. See the Student Rights and Responsibilities consequence chart in the digital handbook for more specific descriptions of infractions and consequences.

Recommended Supplies for this Course: Pen/pencil, paper and a good attitude. The textbook for this class is an electronic edition of Marketing Essentials; the students will be able to access the book both in the classroom and at home. Here is a basic list of things that I would be very thankful to have or have more of: *tissues *hand sanitizer *disinfectant wipes Thank you!!!
