Procedures Start of class (first 10 mins.) – sit quietly, update planner, do Bellwork, display homework, teacher time to take attendance. End of class (last 5 mins.) – end of class review, clean surroundings. Hall Pass – student writes request on log; no pass during the first / last 10 minutes of class; teacher issues pass.

Student needs attention – student raises his/her hand to answer questions.
