SCHOOL RULES I enforce all school rules – make sure you pay attention when your TA teachers go over these rules.

Classroom Rules Be on time Be prepared Be in your seat Be on task Be respectful

1&3. Be in your seat when the bell rings. All students in their seats when the tardy bell stops ringing will not be marked tardy.

2. Students will bring all needed materials to class everyday. Science folder Planner Pencil Paper

4&5. Don’t interrupt others’ right to Learn or my right to teach.

5. Raise your hand and wait for permission to speak.

5. The teacher, not the bell dismisses the class Your desks should look like this before you leave the room. Chairs in No trash Neat Clean
