You will find the syllabus as well as important class information on each class page. Before you go on to the class page, think about the following:STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) jobs are increasing faster than people are acquiring the needed skills. Not enough students are graduating with degrees in those fields. China and India both graduate about half their students in those fields, compared to about a third for the United States. This cloud does have a silver lining (and I mean that almost literally) in that the more demand there is for a skillset, the more money companies are willing to pay. You have an opportunity to start your career focus here at BCHS/Mertz Career and Technical Center. We provide you with the ability to take and pass career certification tests which will allow you to definitively show employers or colleges proof that you have the skills you say you have.

Questions are encouraged: If you are not sure what to do, ask Mr. Ozols.
Help each other out: If someone needs help with an assignment, provide them with encouragement and as much help as you can give without doing the assignment for them.
Complete all assignments: Turn in hard copies or electronic copies of assignments by the due date. If you need help, feel free to turn the assignment in early to get feedback to use to get a better assignment.
When the last bell rings, be ready to work: You should be sitting in your assigned seat with the computer turned on and either working on the assignment or waiting for the page to load.
What this does not look like:
Respect for others: Making fun of other students. Talking and/or making noise so other students cannot learn during class time.
