• Face-to-Face - No food, drink, tobacco, cell phones, etc.
• Online - Since face-to-face meetings in the classroom may be replaced by online meetings through discussion boards, emails, and/or Blackboard Collaborate, students are expected to follow the rules of netiquette in these forums.
• Hybrid - When face-to-face meetings in the classroom are replaced by online meetings through discussion boards, emails, and/or Blackboard Collaborate, students are expected to follow the rules of netiquette in these forums.
• Hyflex - Whether attending in person or online (synchronously or asynchronously)—students are expected to engage respectfully and responsibly. Arrive prepared, minimize distractions, and participate actively using appropriate tools (e.g., microphones, chat, discussion boards). When joining remotely, keep your camera on when possible, mute your microphone when not speaking, and use the chat feature constructively. In the classroom, be mindful of peers who are joining online by speaking clearly and allowing space for all voices. All communication should remain professional.

Electronic Devices Guidelines
Electronic Devices
Students may not use a cellular telephone in the classroom or lab area at any
time for any reason. A student who accesses telephone during class will be asked to leave the class for the remainder of the day and counted absent. See section on absences for further information.
Students may access electronic textbooks on lap top computer, requirements will
apply, no accessing email programs or videos!
A student who is unable to go ninety minutes without accessing an electronic device
is not a good potential fit for the type of work for which we are training. Repeat infractions of the electronic devices guidelines will result in removal from the program and career counseling to choose a more appropriate career path.
Attendance Guidelines
Attendance
In order to prepare students for successful transition into the workforce, the LSCO Technical Programs will maintain high standards for attendance and punctuality.
·To be counted present, a student will be present at his or her work area, prepared for work, and dressed in the appropriate attire, at the appropriate time.
·To be counted present, a student must have notebook (for taking notes, hand out materials) pen and pencil and class textbook. Notebooks will be reviewed periodically during the semester and points will be given to student. Failure to have all this material will result in loss of attendance points for the day.

Extenuating Circumstances
The competencies taught in the LSCO technical programs are critical to the safety and productivity of our local workforce. Due to the nature of the environment for which we are training workers, it is imperative that each student receiving credit for a course be proficient in each competency.
Students are encouraged to review LSCO Technical Program Attire and equipment guidelines with parents.
Probation
Students who accumulate excessive absences during a sixteen-week course will be placed on probationary status and may have the option of completing a project to regain credit for the course.
