Mrs. Lowe’s Classroom Procedures Hello. My name is

Why Do We Have Procedures? They are a part of life – we follow procedures all the time. They can help things to run more efficiently, and make things safer. They help to establish our classroom culture, making it a better environment to learn.

HOW TO ENTER CLASSROOM Line up on the wall outside of the classroom. I will meet you at the door to welcome you to class. Greet me as you walk in the room. Enter classroom in Adult Mode

STARTING CLASS Quietly gather your materials: Complete the “Do Now” Bell Ringer activity listed on the board

WHAT TO DO WITH BELONGINGS All of your belongings should be placed inside the cubby of your desk. Make sure nothing is in the aisles. For safety reasons, please DO NOT lean back in your chair!

IF YOU ARE ABSENT An “Absent Buddy” will fill out a “While You Were Out” sheet and write down what you missed. Any papers passed out will be stapled to this sheet. Make sure YOU pick up your work when you return to school! xt

OUT OF AREA There is no “pass time”. You MUST travel directly from one class to the next class. Respect staff desk areas and sink area. These areas are marked with tape. If you sharpen pencil without teacher permission then you will be out of area.

TURNING PAPERS IN Each student will have an assigned folder to turn in class work. The folders will be located in a crate on the desk beside the chalkboard.

SHARPENING PENCILS Please get teacher’s permission before sharpening pencils. Do not sharpen pencils when the teacher is speaking to class. Only one person at a time at the pencil sharpener with teacher permission. (out of area)

USING TECHNOLOGY IN CLASS An Chromebook/iPad will be assigned to you. You are responsible for the technology during your assigned time.

USING TECHNOLOGY IN CLASS Playing non-academic games or accessing social media sites is not allowed. Chromebooks/iPads are for ACADEMICS USE only unless teacher says otherwise.

BATHROOM BREAKS There are scheduled bathroom breaks. Please see me if you have an emergency

USING CLASSROOM SUPPLIES This room is well stocked to help you complete your classwork. Supplies are located by teacher partner’s desk. Remember to return all supplies back to the appropriate container when finished.

USING CLASSROOM SINK Classroom sink is to be used by Adult Staff ONLY unless given permission otherwise. FYI…No personal food or drink allowed in classroom.

WHEN I WANT YOUR ATTENTION When I want your attention, I will say: “Please listen up and give me your ATTENDING SKILLS.” Raise my hand You will stop what you are doing and look at me.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU WANT MY ATTENTION Raise your hand. Wait for me to respond by calling your name. Be patient. I may be helping another student.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR PAPER Each paper should have four things in the top right hand corner: Your first and last name The date The assignment The Learning Target

Classroom Discussions Please participate! I want to hear what you have to say! Make all questions or comments relevant to the current discussion or topic. Please refrain from shouting out ideas. Have respect for your classmates’ ideas.

EMERGENCY SITUATIONS Stop what you are doing immediately. Listen for adult directions in ALL emergency situations.

CLASS DISMISSAL The teacher dismisses the class, not the clock! Class is over when I say “Have a good day!” Do not start packing up ahead of time. Pick up the floor around you. Push in your chair. Place exit slips in basket.
