Entering/Exiting The Room

The bell does NOT excuse the students, I do

Before entering the classroom the students must line up outside the room, in a straight
line, facing forward, uniforms tucked in, level 0 voice, and not leaning on the wall

Going To The Nurse

It must be an emergency such as throwing up, bleeding, or injury

Sub. (Plans)

Depending on how serious the circumstance is, I will have two different sets of plans prepared
for the sub

Students Absent

There is a make-up/absent folder that contains everything they have missed.

During interventions or stations I call over the students who have been absent to go over what
they missed or have them stay in during recess to catch up.

Slates/Marker Procedures

Each student will have their own slate board that they are responsible for as well as their own
markers. The slate boards and markers will be kept in their desks.

Students are NOT allowed to have cellphones during school

If it is an emergency parents will call the classroom phone

Behavior Plans

Students calling out without being called on lose a point from their group
Students who are continually not completing homework stay in during recess and parents are
notified
If table groups are in the negative points after one day they lose recess
If an individual student or pair is constantly being told to refocus or not on task throughout the
week, then parents will be informed and if needed a mini conference with the student and
parents.
