2010-11 Classroom Rules and Procedures
1. Respect is very important to me. All students will exhibit respect to each other as well as to me. Any profanity will result in a detention. Moreover, phrases such as, “This is stupid”, “This sucks” and “This is retarded” are inappropriate and perceived by me as disrespectful and will result in a student detention and contacting the parent. Please choose your words wisely and keep inappropriate comments to yourself.
2. Each student must be seated before the bell stops ringing. Failure to do so will result in an unexcused tardy. Disciplinary action for unexcused tardies is found in the student handbook.
3. Each student is to bring his/her textbook, paper and at least two items with which to write to class every day unless instructed otherwise by me. Consistent failure to bring text book, writing instrument and/or paper will result in a detention.
4. Cell phones, cameras, large bags, food are not allowed in my classroom. If I see them, I’ll take them.
5. All homework must be placed in "THE BOX" in the front of the classroom before the bell stops ringing on or before the day its due. I will not accept any homework placed in "THE BOX" after the bell has stopped ringing on the day it’s due.
6. If you are absent for any reason, it is your responsibility to see me for missed work. I will NOT come to you. It is also your responsibility to place your missed work in "THE BOX" on the day it's due before the bell finishes ringing. Failure to ask for work in any form (tests and quizzes included) will result in a zero for that assignment.
7. Failure to write your name on any assignment (including tests and projects) is an automatic zero.
8. I will assign Webquests typically once a week. Failure to complete the assignment in a timely manner will result in book work next time. If you ever are found to be on web sites other than the ones assigned, you will receive a zero on the assignment and book work next time.
9. I do not accept late work for any reason. Moreover, you may not go to your locker to get it.
10. Write neatly. If I can't read it, it's a zero. If you can't write neatly-TYPE IT!
11. There will be ONLY three extra credit assignments. Each can possibly raise your grade 2%. You must do the first two to have a chance at the third.
12. You have six passes for the trimester. Be wise with their use. When you’ve used them you’re done leaving the classroom.
13. Success in my class requires the following:
a- Never waste time. Use the entire class period. If you stop working early, your class work is due by the end of the hour.
b- Turn in all assignments, even if they're not completed. Read everything carefully.
c- NEVER share answers with another student.
d- NEVER disturb the learning environment of the classroom.
e- NEVER sleep or put your head down.
f- NEVER be afraid to ask me questions. I am here for you.
I have read and understand the above expectations in this classroom this year.
