Welcome to Ms. Hlushak’s Class!!!

Elk Point Elementary students: respect other students, staff and themselves respect school and personal property always try their best attend school regularly are responsible and successful

Here are some expectations that I have of EVERY student: 1) Students are to enter the classroom calmly and quietly and go immediately to their assigned seats. You are to sit properly in your desk.

2) Students are to be in their seats and prepared to work when class begins.

3) Students are to show respect at all times and in all manners toward themselves, others, and staff. This includes all verbal and non-verbal forms of communication including body language, facial expression and tone of voice.

4) Students are to be on task AT ALL TIMES and work to the best of their ability. This means you are to be working on whatever assignment is given with all of your concentration. If you are finished an assignment early, you may read or work on another acceptable activity.

5) No distractions such as food, iPods or other electronic devices are allowed during class time. Any of these visible will be immediately confiscated and picked up after school. Class time is for learning. 

6) Students are to be prepared with all books, pens, pencils, notebooks, agendas, and any other materials required for class. If you need to sharpen your pencil, throw out trash, etc. this is to be done when no one is addressing the class.

7) Please raise your hand to get permission to speak.

8) If you need to use the bathroom you may do so but you must ask permission properly first. Only one student is allowed to go at a time. You must sign out and sign back in using the sheet on the door. This sheet is also used if you need to leave class for any other reason.

Our classroom is a place where…   we don’t all have to be the same. we don’t all have to think the same. we don’t all have to talk the same. we don’t all have to dress the same. we don’t all have to believe the same things. We have the right to be ourselves.   We like it that people are different.   Our differences make us interesting.  We can disagree and still respect each other.   We can remember to treat others the way we wish to be treated.
