Mr. Vinson Career Technical Education Courses
​Classroom Policies and Procedures
**Updated for Distance Learning**

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with my important classroom policies and procedures.

---

Restroom Use

Computech's bell schedule includes specific times for restroom use, including before school, breaks, lunch, and after school. Class time is not a proper time for restroom use. We do realize, however, that sometimes restroom use cannot be avoided. Students may occasionally use the restroom during class time as needed. Please make sure you are present, active in teams for the start of each period, throughout each period, and at the end of each period for closure.

​Getting Help

When getting help, it's important that you follow these procedures.
Try: Try to figure out the problem using several different ways. (For example, click around in Sketchup until you solve the problem)
Acquire Knowledge: Use Google, Classroom Resources Posted in Teams, or other resources to solve the problem.
Go: Ask an expert in Teams. This could be a classmate or your teacher.

Grading

Students will be graded on projects, presentations, team collaboration, skills assessments, vocabulary, business interactions, daily BYOD and participation, and a detailed engineering notebook.

Late Assignments

• IF the assignment grade has not been entered into ATLAS, turn in the assignment into Microsoft Teams as usual.
• ​IF the grade already appears in ALTAS, Late assignments may be submitted for credit depending on circumstances. Please email your instructor at edward.vinson@fresnounified.org with the late assignment attached as well as a note explaining why it is late.

90%+ A/ 80%+ B/ 70%+ C/ 60%+ D/ Lower than 60 F

Absences

Excused/Ill
Please make sure you continue to check-in with your instructor on a daily basis, as possible. Follow along with your assignments, reach out to get help if you need it, and submit assignments in Teams when they are due.

School Business
Field trips, sports games, and other school business absences require advanced approval of Mr. Vinson. You will be expected to participate in any and all class review videos and assignments for the day(s) of your school business absense.

Needed Equipment

If you have trouble with your district-provided computer and are unable to log in to Teams, you may call FLATS at (559) 457-3939 for assistance. If you are able to email your instructor with an update on the situation, it would be appreciated.

If you do not have access to a Computer Mouse, but would like one, please email your instructor and I will do what I can to make sure you get one.
