Policies and Procedures

All school policies will be enforced in this class.
Restroom Policy?
 Try to use the restroom between classes, before or after school, or during snack/lunch to avoid missing instruction.
 Only one student (one boy and one girl) at a time will be excused to use the restroom (during class).
 Do not ask to use the restroom during class instruction (unless it’s an emergency). Wait until independent work time.

Entering the room/beginning of each class?

 You are to come prepared for class and ready to work. Paper, 3 sharpened pencils, pens, textbooks, dictionaries etc.
should be brought to class each day, unless you are instructed to do otherwise by the teacher.
 You start the class. At the beginning of the class period quietly begin working on the bell work.

Throwing things away?

 You don’t have to ask.
 Please quietly get up, one at a time, and if the teacher is talking to the class wait until finished.
 Please do not throw things across the room.
 Make sure all trash lands firmly inside the trashcan. If it looks too full, use your foot to push down the trash before
throwing away your own trash.

Sharpening your pencil?

 Please make sure you have at least 3 sharpened pencils for the start of class.
 Try to sharpen all pencils before the morning assembly or during class transitions.
 If the teacher or other students are talking to the class, please wait until they are finished.
 Pencils are not allowed to be sharpened during the class period, so make sure you prepare in the morning.

Eating and drinking in class?

 No eating in class unless it’s time for snack or lunch.
 You MUST use a placemat when eating.
 Be careful about crumbs. Make sure they don’t land on the floor.
 Each student is responsible for cleaning up before the end of snack or lunch time. Leave at least 2 minutes for clean
up.
 The only drink permitted in class is a bottle of water with a twist on lid. Plastic water bottles are recommended. If
you know your water bottle will keep falling off the desk, keep it in your bin.

Participation in Class?
 Students may not place their head on their desk for any reason…student participation is mandatory and GRADED…NO
EXCEPTIONS. If you are not feeling well, let the teacher know right away so you can get the proper care at the front
office. Remember: You don’t have to KNOW, you just have to TRY!
 Respect the ideas of teachers and other students during group work. Do NOT make mean comments for ANY
REASON.

Your desk area?

 You are responsible for keeping your desk area and surroundings clean and organized.
 Make sure all belongings are neatly placed in bin under desk (during day). No extra/unnecessary items are allowed to
be kept in classroom because we simply don’t have the space. Stack your chair and place bin on desk before leaving
for the day.
 You may ONLY keep the following items on your desk during class time: planner, soft pencil pouch, one plastic water
bottle with your NAME on it, and materials needed for that class.

When the teacher is busy with a phone call from school staff or a guest enters the room?
 Please respect all guests in our room.
 If the phone rings or a guest comes to speak with teacher, keep working QUIETLY.

 Just smile and keep working.
