PENCIL SHARPENER
If you need to sharpen your pencil, you may get up without permission.
You may sharpen the pencil even if I am talking. (Many students wait for me to give them permission
to sharpen their pencils.)
MOST TEACHERS DO NOT WANT YOU TO SHARPEN PENCILS WHEN THEY ARE TALKING.
TRASH
Do not play basketball with the trash.
Make sure all trash lands in the trash can.
There are scissors, crayons, markers, colored pencils, rulers, a hole punch, and glue that you may borrow
on YOUR TIME, not when I am teaching or you should be working.
IF YOU HAVE THE FIDGETS
Sometimes, I get the fidgets when I have to sit for a while.
If you get the fidgets during class, you may go to the back of the classroom, get a clipboard, and
continue to participate in the class.
Please sit back down when the fidgets are gone.
If you need to go to the nurse, you will write a pass in the agenda on that day.
LUNCH – 3RD PERIOD ONLY
At 11:45, we will be leaving for lunch.
We will all go into the MIDDLE line.
I will show you where we will sit.
As soon as you hear me count, stop what you are doing, look at me, and listen for
directions.
If you do not follow directions the first time, you will have time added on to when you
leave the class. Ex. 30 seconds before you can leave at the end of class
If you need to talk to your partner about the lesson or how to solve a problem while I
am talking, you may do so only if you are talking about the math we are doing.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
In case of a fire drill, stop everything, stand up, and walk to the science hall door.
The class will leave out the science hall door, turn left, exit right out of the building,
and walk all the way out to the grass.
No one is allowed to be on the parking lot during a fire drill.
No talking at all during the fire drill.
If you are not in the class during a fire drill, you will catch up with a class and
remain with them. You will notify the teacher that the student is not with the
right class.
For other emergencies, the teachers will instruct you what to do.
PROBLEMS IN CLASS
The problem will be confronted in class and corrected.
If problems continue to occur, parents/guardians will be contacted.
Students who have discipline problems will be documented on the strike card.
Discuss the strike card
If you have 2 strikes, you will have an N in conduct.
If you have an N in conduct, you will NOT be on honor roll, no matter your grade.
You will not be able to participate in the honor roll celebration and you will sit at
the lunch table alone.
