“Scoville” rules AND PROCEDURES These will make sure we have a smooth, easy, enjoyable year!

Rule #1 Be in your assigned seat and working on the Mind Stretcher when the tardy bell rings. (What’s a Mind Stretcher?) Frequent tardiness will result in a mark to your behavior plan.

Copy the question!!!

Example: Mind Stretcher: 8-1-17 1. What do I do went I enter the science room? I will take my seat silently and look for the mindstretcher question on the board. I will write down the question and then my answer.

Be Prepared! Need to borrow a pencil every once in a while? You may take ONE off the magnetic board near the front of the room… ALL 4 MUST be returned to the board BEFORE anyone will be dismissed from class!! My “Materials Manager” will help ensure pencils are returned daily

rule #2 Bring ALL books and materials to class and take them with you when you leave.

Maximize learning time by staying focused on the task. rule #3 Maximize learning time by staying focused on the task.

Treat each person in this room with respect and dignity. rule #4 Treat each person in this room with respect and dignity.

Follow all procedures & policies in your LMS agenda Rule #5 Follow all procedures & policies in your LMS agenda

Following Class rules will result in: Verbal Praise A stress free learning environment A pleasant and orderly classroom atmosphere

Not Following rules will result in: Teachable Moment/Warning Documentation in ParentVUE & Student/Teacher discussion Silent Lunch Detention and Parent Conference Office Referral *Parental Contact and a Behavior Mark will occur at each level beyond the initial warning!

Severe Clause Any student who uses profanity, fights, damages school property (this includes the property of the teacher and other students), or is disrespectful (as defined by the teacher) will be sent to the office IMMEDIATELY and will receive an office referral.

Class Procedures As Montell Jordan would say, “This is how we do it…”

Entering the room Please enter quietly & have a seat Place your agenda on top of your desk Review the board & copy HW into agenda Begin the Mind Stretcher

When you are tardy Enter quietly Excused or Unexcused: Take your seat, put your agenda (with or without your pass) on your desk. I will come to you. Take out your materials and begin working silently. No pass in agenda= Behavior mark/ (Tardy) in ParentVUE after first warning

Getting your attention I will say, “ Hands on your desk!” Students will immediately place their hands on their desk and freeze. Why is it important to follow this instruction?

Have Trash? Throw it away at the END of class when you are dismissed!!

Have a zero & think you turned in your paper on time? LOOK HERE!

After an excused absence Go to the blog and find out what you missed that day. Do this before you return. Print any hand-outs from the blog. Extra hand-outs may also be found in the tray when you enter the classroom. Extra Tutoring is available as needed before school…please speak with me to arrange it.

Any Questions over the class rules or procedures?

STUDENT SEARCH ACTIVITY On the back of the “10 Things to Know” sheet… Preview ALL questions…do not answer any on your own sheet When I say to begin, you will walk around the room and QUIETLY ask students these questions and fill in their answer/name in each box You must have a different person in each box (if at all possible) When finished, return to your seat and silently raise your hand so I know you are finished first!
