Classroom Expectations

YOUR BEHAVIOUR & ATTITUDE MUST REFLECT THOSE IN THE WORKPLACE.

• Come to class prepared to work/learn. This includes bringing all needed supplies and leaving forbidden items in your locker. Use class time effectively to complete your assignments at school.

• Be on time & attend class regularly. A significant portion of your final mark comes from practical activities. You cannot complete your sewing projects if you are not there! You are responsible for notes, activities and assignments that are covered on the days you are absent.

• Meet all deadlines. This includes your daily homework. If you are absent on the day an assignment is due, be sure to hand it in on the day you return.

• Respect yourself, others & the environment. Swearing, teasing, name-calling, talking out of turn, yelling, littering, vandalism, and other disrespectful behaviour is inappropriate in the workplace and in the classroom. Don’t do it.

• Obey all safety rules. You will learn many rules for the proper usage of sewing tools and machines. For safety reasons, there is zero tolerance for inappropriate behaviour in the sewing lab.
