Newspaper Class Behavioral Expectations
1. Please remember that this is an academic class receiving academic class credit. I expect correct form, no misspellings, appropriate grammar and adherence to schedules, just as in any other class.
2. Remember that there are other classes in the vicinity – keep your voices down to a normal classroom level.
3. Absolutely no food or drink is permitted in the Publications room.
4. You will be expected to work on Newspaper material during class, not to use this time as a study hall. Always try to help others when needed and ask one of the editors if you don’t know what you should be doing.
5. Remember that all ideas, special projects, etc. are confidential for Newspaper staff members only, until the issue is published.
6. Please clean up your work area. etc. before the bell each day. I cannot guarantee the safety of notes & computer disks left unsecured.
7. Have fun, but remember that
your work will be read & critiqued by everyone at
I have read these expectations and understand that my behavior is to be guided by them every day.
