Important Procedures Entering the Classroom Walk in calmly and quietly. Sharpen pencils if necessary, sit in your assigned seat, and begin the starter immediately. Noise Level The expectation is to use inside voices and whispering. If at any time I ask for your attention, you should be able to hear me. Yelling is not permitted.

Important Procedures Coming to Attention When I ask for your attention, you will stop what you are doing, all noise and talking will cease, and every student will look at and listen to the teacher. Listen carefully to and follow all directions from the teacher quickly. End of Class Dismissal The teacher, not the bell, dismisses the class. The area around your desk, on top of your desk, and underneath your desk must be clean no matter the circumstance. All students must be seated and all rows/tables must be straight. Only then will the teacher dismiss the class.

Consequences are not punishments. They are results of a consciously made choice. Consequences can be positive (rewards) or negative (penalties). Procedures are not rules. They are methods for how things are done. In this classroom, efficiency and academic success are of great importance.

Classroom Rules Sit in your assigned seat and have ALL needed class materials ready when the bell rings. Our purpose is to get started on the daily tasks and work towards success immediately.

When the bell rings, it is your responsibility to sit in your assigned seat and begin the daily task. Failure to do so will result in a tardy. The seating chart is used to check attendance.

Classroom Rules Stay seated and do not get up without permission from the teacher. Excessive movement distracts from the learning process; therefore, this rule is present to minimize distractions. At times, it will be necessary for movement throughout the classroom. You are responsible for following the appropriate procedures for doing so.

Classroom Rules Follow all directions from the teacher immediately, the first time they are given. During instruction and various in-class transitions, it is important that you follow instructions to maintain efficiency and maximize learning within the classroom. It is imperative that these instructions are heard. Do not talk while the teacher is talking. When asked for your attention, all eyes on the teacher, all noise ceases, and all ears actively listening without hesitation.

Classroom Rules Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself. Nothing goes airborne. Our purpose is to work towards success. Inappropriate behaviors distract from the learning process that leads to success; therefore, respect each other and personal space. Also, do not throw objects for any reason. Injury and disruption could result.

Classroom Rules Show respect to EVERYONE in the classroom at ALL TIMES. No profanity or inappropriate language. To summarize, use good manners.
