Dear Students,


As a part of learning about the working world it is important to understand the concept of timeliness and how important it is in a work environment, because this is such an important concept you will be required to fill out a time sheet.


I will attach a timesheet as a link to this blog. You must click on that link and fill out the time that you came into class and the time that you left class. If you go to the restroom make sure that you clock out and back in on your timesheet. Also, if you participate in additional activities including EWP projects, EWP clubs, Assisting Ms. Smith or an extra assignment, document it on your time sheet and leave a comment on your blog describing what it is you have done for the program that is outside of the class period. You are then eligible for extra Smith Bucks which help you purchase things from the General Store or get extra credit up to 100 points for the grading period.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns or confusion please do not hesitate to contact me using the above information.
Sincerely,
Ms. A.N.Smith, M.Ed.
