Guideline #1 When you come into class each day, be in

your assigned seat and working on assigned bell work. Class begins when the bell rings.

Guideline #2 Bathroom breaks will not be given during

important instruction time. If you need to use the restroom, raise your hand and show me the sign (2 crossed fingers), and I will sign your planner to leave.

Guideline #3 Homework is due at the

next class period. At the beginning of each

week, you will record the homework for the entire week in your planners.

If you do not have your homework:

1. Student will fill out a pink slip to turn in.

2. Student will be required to call home to let parents know they will be attending homework recovery after school.

should be in the following format:

you are still responsible for homework. All Homework for the week will be posted

on the whiteboard. When you retrieve missing homework, you

must sign the homework notebook that you received the assignment. (Date, Name, and Assignment).

Guideline #5 Bring all materials including pencils with you to class. If you need a pencil, or need a sharpened pencil, take one

from the sharpened pencil can and place your pencil in the used pencil can. Return your borrowed pencil at the end of class.

NO pencil tasks during instruction time. During other times, raise your pencil for permission to switch at the pencil can.

I will know I have your attention when you are facing me with your hand raised.

Entering the room Enter quietly Take your assigned seat Prepare your materials Review the agenda Begin bell work assignment

classroom discussions. If you have question or comment not

related to the topic, write it down and put it in the question box at the end of class and I will address it at an appropriate time.

expected to have a job during activities.

Any student not participating with their group will lose points for that day.
