R U L E S , A G R E E M E N T S , & N O R M S
- Be honest. Please inform Ms. Krause if something is up, I'm here to listen.
- Cell Phones. Away and out of sight, unless directed by teacher. If it is a distraction, I will help you by holding onto it for the remainder of class period.
- Food. NO FOOD OR DRINK BY COMPUTERS. Keep it at the back tables.
- Restrooms. No passes out of class in first or last 10 minutes. Student must ask permission, and only has 5 minutes to use restroom or get water. *If you have a different errand, ask for a written pass.
- Class Time. Use time wisely to get homework, classwork, research, and units completed. If you are seen playing games or browsing inappropriate content on the internet, your computer usage will be revoked.
- Technology. Respect it. The computers and cameras are not mine, nor are they yours. They belong to the school, and we WILL take care of them.
- Cords. If you see something plugged in, DO NOT UNPLUG IT. Especially to charge your phone.

- Battery. Check battery level and SD card before photographing. If battery is at 1 bar or dead, do the right thing and plug in to charge.
- Photographing. You must have a B (80%) or higher to leave room 230 to photograph during class. The freedom to go beyond our classroom is a privilege, not a right. If and when you are capturing images, actively take photos! Engage in your subject.
- Professionalism. Ask permission before capturing people. Remember, you are a student and your work needs to remain appropriate.
- Location. Be responsible. Shoot in creative yet SAFE areas. Always tell someone where you're going.
- Reputation. You are a representative of the photo department. Please help us look good :)
- Camera Care. Always download images from SD card in same class period. Always delete images after download. Always be awesome. *Images on SD card are NOT guaranteed to be there the next time.*
- Time Management. Passes WILL NOT be written for students who are working on time management (aka late).
- Golden Rule. Treat all things with respect. This includes (but is not limited to): people, animals, your lunchbox, your mom, your teachers, the camera, the computer, your pencils, etc.
- Questions? Ask! Ask a friend, as a mentor, as Ms. Krause.
