Classroom Expectations

Arrive on Time: To keep the classroom running smoothly, everyone needs to be on time and ready to start class. Students outside the door and rushing in after the bell has begun to ring will be considered tardy. You must be in your seat when the bell rings to be counted present.

No Food or Drinks: Eating and drinking should be reserved for lunchtime and breaks between class. (However, exceptions should be made for students with medical needs.)

No hoods, hats, jackets or coats.

No cell phones or headphones.

No BackPacks

Use Polite Speech and Body Language: Always behave in a way that is respectful to your teacher and fellow students. Unkind teasing and impolite behavior are unacceptable at all times and may lead to disciplinary actions. Be respectful of other students when they are speaking. Any form of bullying will not be tolerated.

Listen and Follow Directions: It is important for you to pay attention in class and follow the teacher's directions. You will be a more successful student if you listen in class and follow instructions.

Never Pack up Before It's Time to Leave and no lining up at the door: It may be tempting to pack up early when it's getting close to the end of class. Nevertheless, you should wait until the teacher has dismissed you before preparing to leave.

Turn in Work on Time: Unless you have been given an extension, always turn in your work on time. Late assignments will receive a lower score.

Use Technology for Learning: We will be using computers during this class, only go to web sites pertaining to class. DO NOT visit any inappropriate web sites. DO NOT turn off other student's computer. DO NOT unplug the mouse or keyboard.

Make up Missed Work: If you have missed a lesson or an assignment, make arrangements with your teacher to complete the work.

If You Have a Question, Ask for Help: If something is confusing—such as assignment instructions or something in your reading materials—ask your teacher or another student for help.
