Classroom+Rules

====My classroom expectations and policies are simple: **Spain Park Jaguars are Respectful, Responsible, and Resourceful. Respect – me, other students, and our classroom materials**. **Responsible - for yourself and your materials. Resourceful - its art class, fine a way to make your projects works!** I am always willing to help students who are being respectful and are working. We will do a lot of class critiques and expect you to be respectful of other's and their work during these. Since we are using computers daily, the Internet should be used only to gather images or information relating specifically to your projects. Music may be played and listened to on your head phones, but other web sites, searching and shopping, or playing video games are not to be done. I expect all work-spaces to be cleaned up before each class exits the classroom. If there is ever a problem with this, I will deduct daily points for the **1st offense** as well as emailing your parents. The **2nd offense** will result in a loss of project points in the effort section and an email to your parents/guardians. The **3rd offense** will result in administration becoming involved. Unless I clearly state we are using images from the Internet, **piracy will not be tolerated**. Piracy is the use of someone else's image or art work and passing it off as your own; it is like plagiarism. If any student is pirating images and using them as their own, parents will be notified and that student will recieve a zero for that project for a **1st offense**.====

====As the year progresses, the dark room will be up and running. Because of the needed dark space and only having small groups of students in there at a time, **ANY** misbehavior in the darkroom will be handled by going immediately to the office. I will have ZERO horse-play with the chemicals or equipment. Also, while I am in the darkroom, **ANY** misbehavior in the classroom will also result in going immediately to the office. I have faith in yall will not abuse the privilage and responsibilites that this addition to the curriculum with give us. The darkroom will be a great new way to learn photography and express yourselves artistically but I am asking and expecting yall to respect this privilage.====
