Be Punctual
Students are expected to come to class on time. We enter the classroom quietly and immediately get out the homework and complete the opener activity. If a student is late, s/he must get a tardy slip from the office before coming back to class.
Be Respectful to others, yourself, and all property
Students are expected to listen when spoken to and reply politely when appropriate. When Miss Hamzik is teaching, students are engaged by taking notes, asking questions, participating in discourse, assisting peers, and properly responding to directions. If an issue does arise, please politely address it with Miss Hamzik or another teacher in the classroom.
Our classroom has a flexible seating set up. First thing to know, this seating is a privilege. Students are to choose this seat everyday that will benefit themselves by helping them be the best learner. If the seating arrangement cannot be respected, then adjustments will be changed. Miss Hamzik along with the other teachers in the room have the right to move any student at any time and we will not be met with back talking of any kind.
We will be looking over and signing a flexible seating contract. Students will know and agree to the expectations before they are given the privilege.
Be Prepared
Students must have materials by the second week. Students must have a working pencil and eraser to write with and a scientific calculator to use every day.
If anyone needs help getting the required materials, please speak to me in private and I will assist. We will work to stay organized and keep important materials safely stored.
Be Safe
Our job is to challenge ourselves, persevere, and learn in this class and in all areas of school. Students will keep this focus and do what is necessary in class to be safe and keep the people around them safe.
Be the Best You
Come to class every day with a positive attitude and ready to be challenged, to make mistakes, to persevere, to help, and to learn.
We all have bad days but do not let that hinder you or the people around you. Please talk to me if you need anything and we will make it work.
