Scottsbluff Public Schools - Every Child, Every Day
Welcome to Homeroom
Homeroom is an opportunity for students to have a structured time to complete grade checks, work on homework/missing assignments, or read a book (students will be taken to the library once a month to check out books and be given other opportunities throughout the month to check out additional books if needed or complete fun activities in the library). Students will also be participating in digital citizenship lessons.
Daily Expectations
· Monday – Grade Checks/Missing Work Review then WOW (Work on Work)
· Tuesday - WOW (Work on Work)
· Wednesday – WOW (Work on Work)
· Thursday – Digital Citizenship
· Friday – DEAR (Drop Everything and Read)
· **The weekly schedule will have some flexibility to accommodate library checkout or days when students are not in school.
1. Be punctual for class.
· Be seated and ready to begin at the appropriate time. If you are late, the school tardy policy will apply.
2. Be Prepared for Class
· (HOMEROOM A): Any materials to complete homework will come with you to class and you will take them to the cafeteria. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE HOMEROOM TO GET SUPPLIES.
· (HOMEROOM B): Homeroom materials will be taken to the cafeteria. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE LUNCH or HOMEROOM TO GET MATERIALS.
3. Bathroom/Drinks
· Opportunities will be given to allow students to use the bathroom and get drinks.
4. Cell Phones
· The cell phone policy in the handbook will be enforced during homeroom.
· Cell phones are to remain turned off and in the student's locker during the school day (7:38 a.m.-3:00 p.m.).
5. Grading
· Students are expected to come to class prepared AND work the entire period. Failure to do these things will result in a ZERO for that day. The consequences for ZEROS are as follows:
o ZERO 1-2: Teacher warning and possible 10th period.
o ZERO 3-4: Parent Contact and possible 10th period.
o ZERO 5: Once a student has received five zeros in one quarter, they will receive an unsuccessful in homeroom. This will be noted in their permanent record and appear on their report card.
o ZERO 6+: Each additional ZERO after 5 will result in parent contact, 10th period, and possible LLR
· Students will be graded in homeroom by the quarter. Each quarter, a student will start over.
