ALL Phones should be turned off and put in your backpack Before coming into class. You cannot have your phone in your pocket or on you during class time. There will be RARE situations where I will give you permission to use your phone. If there is an urgent matter, please ask me and I may or may not grant permission.
If you need to step out for ANY reason (bathroom, drink of water, etc.) fill out the BACK of your science notebook. You only get 3 of these a quarter. I may have you wait until I get to a breaking point. When you leave, take the pass by the door, leave the door open, and be as quick and efficient as possible. Use passing time to take care of these needs. If you check in during passing and ask to go, you do not have to fill out your notebook.
Hats and hoods are to be taken off BEFORE you get in the room. If you are having a bad hair day, factor that in. An email or call from the parent can buy you a day or two, but this must be arranged ahead of time. Hats and hoods for religious reasons are exempt.
Food, snacks, candy, gum, sweet drinks, etc. are NOT ALLOWED in class. Please finish and put them away before you get to class without being late. Water is okay.
EARBUDS ARE NOT ALLOWED. If you need headphones, I have wired headphones you can use.
If you need a band-aid please QUIETLY and discreetly use the band-aid bucket. If there are no band-aids in the bucket, I am out. Do not ask me for more, I do not have them. If you are someone who may need a band-aid, put a couple in your backpack for you to use.
Consequences:
- Conference with student
- Call/email home
- Lunch with Mr. E
- Get help from admin.
*of course there are exceptions for every rule, if there is a medical or documented need, there is always room for negotiations
