      • Sharpen your pencil if necessary. 
      • Take your journal out and begin the starter.
      • If you are late, come in quietly, go directly to your seat, and begin working.  You are responsible for anything you miss.
    • Tardy Policy

     

      • If you are not in the room when the bell rings you are tardy!
      • Parent contact will be made if tardies are a persistant problem.
      • Multiple tardies will be a referral to the office. 

     

    • How to Properly Request the Teacher’s Attention

      • Wait calmly and patiently.  I may not see you immediately, but I will eventually call on you.

     

    • Attention Bell

     

      • When you hear the bell, stop what you are doing
      • Hands free, eyes on me

     

    • Announcements

     

      • If the intercom is on, you are to remain silent
      • Students DO NOT talk into the intercom

     

    • Sharpening your Pencil

     

      • SHARPEN YOUR PENCIL WHEN YOU ENTER THE ROOM!
      • The electric sharpener is only to be used before class.
      • If your pencil breaks, you may quietly get up and sharpen your pencil if I am not teaching. 
      • One person at a sharpener at a time.

     

    • Borrowing a Pencil

     

      • You must have an ID to borrow a pencil.
      • If you do not return the pencil your ID will be held until the following class period or until you return the pencil.

     

    • Disposing of Trash

     

      • Trash is not to be tossed, thrown, shot, or slam dunked into the trash can. 
      • Leaving your area messy will result in being held after the bell.

     

    • Bathroom/Water:

     

      • Bathroom and water breaks will only be allowed when you are working independently. You must have your bathroom pass. If you have lost your pass, you have to wait until passing period.

    • Exiting the Classroom:

     

      • Put your journal away neatly in the correct bin.
