SSA......I gave my word.

Electronic Devices
When I am giving instructions or speaking to the entire class, all electronic devices should be put away. That means invisible. If I see one, I will ask you for it. I will probably give it back to you at the end of class.
If you do not give it to me, I will call for a campus supervisor and have you escorted to an assistant principal.


Please..............If you want to listen to sound on your computer, use headphones.
