Classroom Expectations

  Entering the classroom 

1. Arrive promptly to class. Enter the room quietly, make sure your cellphone is turned off and in your backpack.  Begin your  TAPD bellwork displayed on the panel.  

2. Be productive.  Come to class prepared to work.  Have your Social Studies notebook and related materials during each class.  

3. Be respectful, polite, and thoughtful to each other. Follow directions the first time they are given.

 Cellphone & Computer Usage

1. Cellphones MUST be powered off and out of sight. 

Texas House Bill 1481, signed into law by Governor Abbott, prohibits students from using personal communication devices, including cell phones, during instructional time in schools. This means cell phones, smartwatches, and other devices must be kept out of sight and unused during the school day. The bill aims to reduce distractions and promote focus in the classroom.

2. Chromebook use is for classwork only.  Inspect your device and report any problems immediately. 

3. You are not permitted to access unauthorized websites. For example, listening to music, playing online games, or changing the device settings.
