1. Enter the classroom each day with a cheerful attitude and a smile upon your face, eager to learn more about the world of mathematics. The attitude, you will find, not only enhances your ability and rate of learning, but will also make a great positive influence on your teacher’s disposition.
2. When the bell rings, you are to have your entire body in the classroom.
3. Having a bad day for either physical or other personal reasons? Tell me that you are as you come into the class, so I don’t misinterpret some of your signals, and end up making your bad day worse. Try to limit yourself to one or less of these each semester.
4. Cell phones will be placed in one of the red pockets located on the wall. Please make sure the ringer is on silent.

8. Help keep the room looking neat, please place garbage in the proper containers.
9. Class attendance is mandatory. When a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to find out what was done in class, and what needs to be done in regard to make-up material and class notes. All quizzes and the test must be made-up within two school days after the absence.
10. All missed work will go in the grade book as a zero until that work is handed in due to the guidelines posted. All credit from an unexcused absence will stay a zero in the grade book.
