Journals
Journals are to be completed everyday at the beginning of class. If you are absent,
you are required to complete the journal response for that day. Enter all journal
responses in your biology binder. Each entry must include the question and the
date. The daily journal topics will be on the screen at the beginning of class period
and should be answered within the first 10 minutes of the class period. Journal
entries will count towards your participation grade.
If you choose not to follow the classroom rules or meet the behavioral
expectations, there will be consequences. The following list describes how
disruptive actions will be handled in our classroom:
Consequences
1. The teacher will give you a public or private warning.
2. The next disruption will result in a conference (ex: hallway talk) with the
teacher.
3. If the disruption continues you will be referred to your assistant principal.
This will result in a parent/guardian contact and other consequences
assigned by the assistant principal (according to Eastern‟s discipline rubric.)
4. If the problem persists, you will be referred to the assistant principal and
have a behavior plan developed.
5. Severe disruption will result in the immediate removal from class.
