Results and Responsibilities—not excuses! |
Rules we agree on:1. Be in your assigned seat when the tardy bell rings.You are expected to be in your seat and ready to work when the tardy bell rings. Sharpen pencils and make all locker and restroom stops before you come to class. If you are tardy, you will automatically be assigned lunch detention. Students must fill out a detention form before taking a seat. 2. Bring all books, supplies, and assignments to class.You are expected to bring all supplies and materials to class and to be in your seat and ready to work when the bell rings. Being prepared means having all supplies, work, and books ready to go. You will NOT be allowed to go back to your locker for notebook paper, pens, or books. 3. Follow directions and teacher requests the first time they are given.Be respectful and polite. A positive attitude is always a plus! 4. Stay seated and respect class quiet times (when I’m talking, you’re not).Talking while someone else is speaking is inconsiderate and distracts others from learning. If we listen carefully everyone is able to hear instructions and important information and everyone gets the respect they deserve. 5. No personal grooming during class time.All makeup application, hair grooming, etc. should be done between classes. This provides for the least amount of classroom distractions.
You should respect your teacher, other students, and the classroom rules.
