Dear Students and Parents,


I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of my new students and their parents to
Advanced Digital Media. The Advanced Digital Media course provides students with industry
knowledge and skills in the overall digital media design field. Areas covered in these two courses
include graphics, animation, video, and web design. An emphasis is placed on the fundamental
concepts of graphic design, various digital media technologies, non-linear editing, product
development and design, and career development. Art, English language arts, and mathematics
are reinforced. I look forward to a GREAT semester collaborating with you!

Discipline Plan:
It is important for students to remember that THEIR behavior is THEIR responsibility. Each
student CHOOSES whether or not to follow the guidelines. Please be aware that a choice to
ignore a guideline will result in consequences that have been outlined in the student handbook.
Parents will be contacted for repeated offences and student could receive ISS depending on the
offenses and the severity of the offense. Severe disruptions will be automatically referred to the
office at the time of incidence. Students that exhibit behaviors that interrupt the instructional
process will be removed from class immediately so that the behavior does not interfere with the
learning opportunities of their peers.

SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY!!!!!!!


Conduct yourself in a responsible manner at all times in the laboratory.
Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully. If you do not understand directions, ask the instructor before
proceeding.
4. Never work alone. No student may work in the laboratory without an instructor present.
5. When entering laboratory, do not touch equipment or materials until instructed to do so.

loose connections. Do NOT use damaged electrical equipment.

help.
15. Any student that is taking prescribed drugs which might cause drowsiness, lightheadedness, or disorientation in
