Classroom Procedures

Entering the classroom Quietly Walk to your assigned seat Take a seat Take out your supplies Place your book bag on or under your desk Begin the dispatch

Dispatch Criteria Each dispatch is worth 5 points. In order to receive full points, you must copy the question, show your work and have an answer. The dispatch is an independent activity, so NO TALKING during the dispatch. Always TRY your best on the dispatch problems.

Tardy Procedures I expect you to be in your seat and working on your dispatch before the tardy bell rings. If late, quietly come in, sign the tardy log, and walk to your assigned seat. Three(3) tardies = “U” in cooporations

Dismissal The teacher dismisses the class, not the bell. Teacher will dismiss the class by rows, checking for clean desks and floor area. Everyone in the row must be ready in order for the row to be dismissed.

Passes Passes will not be given during class. Take care of business during the five minute passing time, or during lunch. Each student will receive ONE BATHROOM PASS per semester. If you choose to not use the pass, it can be redeemed for 10 extra points.

Sharpening Sharpen pencils before class only. No pencil sharpener is available during class time. Bring your own covered sharpener Sharpen pencils at your desk and not on the floor.

Absent Procedures When absent, it is your responsibility to check with a classmate or with Mrs. Maye for assignments that you need to make-up. Always check the back folder for activity sheets that must be glued into your notebook and calendar for any information you missed. Have an in – class math buddy that you can contact regarding assignments when you are absent. Always check the JB website or send me a message via Schoology/REMIND. http://burroughsms.org/

Be Respectful! Stop whatever you are doing when you hear the PA system. No talking during announcements. Do not talk to visitors unless they are here to see you. Continue working quietly when Mrs. Maye is talking to a guest. Put all other belonging away, except for those needed for this class.
