RULES
​
Respect YOURSELF– Please make sure you are learning all you can while you are in class so you will be able to reap the maximum benefits of this course. This includes listening, focusing on the lesson, staying off your phone, & coming prepared for class (all supplies & all homework). We will be working from bell-to-bell, so give yourself the chance the excel!
Respect OTHERS– If you are distracting others while they are trying to learn, you are being disrespectful. You should not be participating in ANY behavior that is distracting– if you are, you WILL be called out for it. This also includes any form of bullying. Any negative comments about anyone in the class or their work will NOT be tolerated.. EVER.
Respect ME & ANY other ADULTS in the room– I believe that everyone should be respected for the sheer fact that they are human and deserve it. I will ALWAYS respect you, and I expect the same in return. A great deal of work goes into preparing lessons and activities for you. I do this in the in the spirit of making your lives richer and preparing you for your future; please respect my hard work and dedication to you as worthy individuals.
Respect ALL SCHOOL RULES– I will be enforcing them. THIS INCLUDES TARDIES & the CELL PHONE POLICY!
Respect ALL PROPERTY– This is self-explanatory; however, understand this includes ANYTHING that belongs to the school or me. DO NOT touch anything in my room that does not belong to you without my permission.
PROCEDURES
Be ON TIME! If you need to use the restroom, let me know so I will not count you tardy. I would rather you go BEFORE class begins. You risk being told NO if you wait until after class starts. IF I allow you to go before class starts, you must immediately begin the "As soon as you walk into the room" section below and get caught up. Do NOT interrupt what the rest of the class is doing.
ALWAYS have your materials/supplies & homework.
As soon as you walk into the room:
-
Pick up any necessary handouts/books/supplies on the front table. *If you have been absent you will ALSO need to pick up any handouts on the back table. (See "Make-up Policy & Procedures" page and "Absent Slips" below)
-
Put your phone in the phone holder hanging at the end of the front table (make sure it is on silent).
-
Get out your binder.
-
Copy the Daily Agenda IMMEDIATELY when you sit down (You do not have to copy the objectives.)
-
Begin the the first activity item on the Daily Agenda.
-
Have necessary materials/handouts/homework at hand (that means ALL of your supplies and your binder), & be ready to work & learn!
During Class:
-
ALWAYS be engaged.
-
Do NOT communicate while I am teaching unless asked to do so.

IF you have failed to put your phone in the holder, I will request that you give it to me. If you refuse to give me your phone, you will receive a referral to your AP.
Absence Slips, Tardies & Leaving Class:

If you are tardy, you must sign the log sheet as you enter the classroom. Immediately begin the "As soon as you walk into the room" section above and get caught up. Do NOT interrupt what the rest of the class is doing.
