Social Studies Rules and procedures

Respect Students are expected to be in class on time. Respect will occur in the class at all times There is no reason at any time to put down another student, idea or work. The class is a safe zone (you are always welcome as long as you follow the rules.) Talking and interaction is encouraged during discussions (which happen often), but otherwise, the teacher is the only person who should be speaking. Raise your hands to speak unless otherwise instructed.

Bathroom There are no bathroom breaks during warm-ups, exit slips, or discussions. Only one student at a time may leave the classroom. If you abuse your bathroom privileges by constantly leaving class, being gone for extended periods, etc., you will lose them.

Homework Due to the nature of social studies, you will have to read, write, and work outside of our normal classroom hours. Homework is to be turned in at the beginning of class (or submitted online before class to be counted for full credit.) Most of the homework will simply be reading, writing, or packets distributed. Most nights you will likely have homework! Notebooks will be collected at the end of the week/or submitted at the end of the week.

Phones You are not to have phones out in class at ANY time unless told otherwise (be respectful…I’m not on my phone!) There will be occasions you will be able to listen to music during some assignments, but I’ll give you heads up beforehand. School policy will be followed on phone use.

Attendance/Makeup work Students who are absent will have 1 day for makeup (it’s summer, it goes quickly so stay caught up!) The more you’re in class and participating, the better your grade will be! Late work will have a deduction in grade (case by case). If you are in class participating every day without being tardy, you’ll pass!! Normal ACC rules apply to absences and tardies, no exceptions!

Most importantly… Learn, question, be in class, and HAVE FUN!!
