Basic Rules

1. Do not leave your seat without a reason(No wandering in class!).

3. Raise your hand to speak.

   • (Especially no shouting out answers or comments while I'm "TEACHING" or another student is                 speaking)

4. No hallway passes FIRST or LAST 10 minutes of class.*

5. Keep hands, feet, and all objects to yourself.

Prefer pencil over pens and always have something to write with!

Be "Responsible" - It means:

• • Having an obligation to do something!

  • It's the right thing to do, especially now that you are in "Middle School."

  • It makes you feel good about yourself.  

• Pencils - You should use the time before class to sharpen your pencil.

• If the teacher or a student is addressing the class and you need to sharpen your pencil, please raise your hand and hold your pencil.  The teacher will then decide to give permission or ask you to wait until the discussion or task is ended.  

• If you choose to use a mechanical pencil, you will have to supply your own lead since I do not supply lead in the classroom.  

• If you need to borrow a pencil from me, leave your student ID and get it back from me at the end of the hour as your return the pencil.  

Headphones 

• You are responsible for the headphone at the computer you use.  

• Hang headphones  up on the monitor or place them neatly on the Keyboard cover.

Computer Problems

• Please do not shout that your computer is not working!

Using the Restroom/Leaving Class

• Raise your hand and "silently" get my attention and hold up your planner.  If I nod yes, then fill out your planner with the date and time.  The teacher will then sign the planner.

• If the teacher is speaking, wait til they are done!

• Never shout out your request.  

• As you travel to and from the restroom, remember to be respectful of others.  You should return from the restroom in a timely fashion and avoid unnecessary distractions.
