Student behavior conforms to some very basic guidelines in Mr. Zobel’s classroom.

Everyday Essentials

• Be in class on time (citizenship points earned daily). Tardy to class counts against you.
• Come prepared with materials: paper, pencils, pens (black or dark blue ink), homework, and book(s).
• Be prepared emotionally to learn. Do not interfere with instruction or other student’s learning.
• Treat desks, books, computers, and all other classroom objects with respect. These items belong to WHS or to Mr. Zobel. The ability to follow directions leads to success.
• Assignments have due dates. One day late receives a 20% reduction, and work turned in after that is not counted.
• Tests are given on specific announced dates. Make-ups are done by appointment with Mr. Zobel before or after school in a timely manner (2-3 days).
• All WHS standards are enforced, including (but not limited to) the following items: no personal electronic devices (radios, telephones, games, etc.) are acceptable.
• Food and Drink: only plain water, and not near the computers in the classroom.
• Come appropriately dressed.

Mr. Zobel makes himself available to assist individuals by appointment either before or after school. The English Department also provides a mentor teacher on Thursday evenings in the school library.

   Student may be removed from class with loss of credit and reduced schedule.

Substitute Teachers

Student behavior when a Substitute Teacher is present must equal or be better than student behavior when Mr. Zobel is in the classroom. A grade is recorded that specifically relates to student support of the Substitute. Students are required to sit in their assigned seats, follow directions, and exhibit mature behavior.
