Class Procedures - Updated 2010
Call to Attention
When Sr. Rabin needs to get the class’ attention, he will count down from 5
to 1 in Spanish - “Cinco, Cuatro, Tres, Dos, Uno”. By the time he reaches Uno,
students must be silent and sitting in their seats, waiting for the next
directions.
Food/Gum/Drink
Food, gum, and drink will not be permitted in class, according to IJGMS
policy.
Bathroom
Students are encouraged to use the bathroom during lunch or before/after
school. Each student will be given 2 bathroom passes per quarter, on which
each student will write his/her name. Students should keep these bathroom
passes in their in-class binders so that they do not get lost. Students will
only be allowed to use a pass for the bathroom during non-instructional time;
if Sr. Rabin is teaching the class, students will not be permitted to use the
bathroom. Once a student uses his/her passes, he/she will not be permitted
to use the bathroom for the rest of the quarter, unless other circumstances
are arranged.
If the passes are not used at the end of the quarter, students can use them
towards extra credit – they will be worth one point each.
Technology
Following IJGMS policies, there will be absolutely no cell phones, IPODS,
MP3 players, or any other electronic devices allowed in the classroom. If
students bring these devices to school, they must be turned off and kept in
the student’s locker, bag, pocket, or purse. If they are taken out during
class, Sr. Rabin reserves the right to take them away from the student.
Garbage
Students must keep all garbage at their desk until the end of the period
when they will be permitted to throw it out.
Questions
If students have questions, they are expected to raise their hands and wait
until Sr. Rabin calls on them.
Uniform
Students are expected to follow the IJGMS uniform policy. Under no
circumstances will students be allowed to wear anything that does not
adhere to this policy. If students do violate the uniform policy, Sr. Rabin will
complete a uniform violation form and refer it to the administration for
further action.
Exams
During exams, students will be expected to follow the Code of Conduct.
Students will remain quiet, clear their desks, raise their hands if they have
questions, keep their eyes on their own papers, and do the best that they
can do. ANY FORM OF CHEATING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND WILL
RESULT IN AN AUTOMATIC ZERO.
Tardiness
There is no reason for a student to be tardy to class. If a student does
arrive late to class, he/she must have a pass from the teacher that HE/SHE
CAME FROM, or from the office. Students will not be permitted to enter
class without an appropriate pass, and will be sent straight to the office for
consequences.
Absent Policy
If a student is absent from class, it is his or her responsibility to make up
the assignments that he or she missed. There will be a Make-Up work binder
for each class subject, which will have notes and worksheets for every day
of the unit. Students must find the worksheets that they missed and fill
them out on their own time, outside of class. If students have any questions,
they can come and see Sr. Rabin outside of the class period to get extra
help.
Sr. Rabin will have a binder for each class with completed Guided Notes
from which students can copy if they were absent. This binder should never
leave the room, and materials should never be taken out of the binder.
If students miss a day when a quiz or test was given, they will be responsible
to take it the day that they return, unless special permission under certain
circumstances is given by Sr. Rabin or the administration.
Participation Tracker
The participation tracker is part of the homework tracker. Every time a
student receives a consequence in class for misbehavior, Sr. Rabin will mark
an “x” on the students participation tracker. Every “x” takes away a
participation point for the day, and students will also receive consequences
accordingly.
Assessment Tracker
Every time students receive a graded exit slip, quiz, test, or project, they
will track it on their assessment tracker. If they received a 80% or higher,
they will write in their personalized logo to show their mastery of the topic.
Sr. Rabin will check for updated trackers during binder checks.
