When you enter this classroom… You wait outside in a single file line I will come out and let you inside the room You are to walk in quietly and take out your binder reminder and copy down what it says on the screen. When finished, begin working on the math warm up Do not ask me questions! Do not bring in sugar drinks like Gator Ade. Do not have gum in your mouth. Eat your snacks outside. You may bring a bottle of water with you into the room.

When the period is over I dismiss you. You DO NOT get up and leave. I will dismiss individuals or groups when their area is cleaned up and all your personal items are with you. Clean up the floor around you. DO NOT leave your personal items in the room.

Restroom No bathroom breaks during the first 10 minutes or last 10 minutes of class. If you do need to use the restroom, please ask permission first. Take the bathroom pass which is the clipboard on the fire extinguisher Hurry up and go and get back here fast! Constant use of the restroom during instructional time will result in the loss of this privilege.
