Rules

Top

All Lincoln High School rules apply in the classroom.

Pay special attention to electronics, I have a no tolerance policy on these and will confiscate them! The length of time I will hold onto your phone is determined by how many times you have been caught with one in class and how disruptive you have been.

Due to phone cameras, no phones are allowed to be visible during tests. Just having your phone visible will invalidate your test. This means you need a separate calculator.
