Personal Introduction / Contact Information

Classroom rules: Always be respectful (constructive criticism

only). No cell phones or electronics in the darkroom. Never dump chemistry, I will change it. Turn in assignments on time and be

considerate of classmates prints. If rules are not followed: You will first get a warning and then a referral.

Classroom Rules and Behavior Issues

There will be 5 assignments due during this semester. On the day it is due we will be having a class discussion about the students prints.

If an assignment is not turned in on time, there will be two class periods after the due date but a letter grade will be taken off for each day late.

Homework Policy

Project 1- 15 pts Project 2- 15 pts Midterm- 30 pts Project 3- 15 pts Final- 35 Report cards will be handed out after the

midterm and after the final projects.

Grading and Report Cards

There will be a car wash on Sept.30th to raise money for equipment that go in the photo lab, which the students will be using daily.

Later on in the semester on Nov.18th there will be a school wide bake sale to raise money for all of the extra curricular activities. Including photography class!

Fundraisers

Our class will need at least two parent volunteers to come into class and model for us. If you would like to help out please send me an email and I will give further details. We can schedule up to 10 photo shoots, so if you would like to volunteer please let me know as soon as possible. The students love this part about the class, and so do I!

Parent Volunteers

Panther High School provides students with computers to use in this class and each student will be given great responsibility.

Students may not visit any inappropriate websites such as social medias, video players, or websites that the county has banned.

Students should not relocate computers and always have my supervision before they use them, if not they will receive a referral.
