7-1 Homeroom Procedures

Agendas Agendas will be checked daily for a parent signature and stamped. Put your agendas on your desk as soon as you enter Homeroom. Make sure they are opened to yesterday’s date to be stamped. Failure to have your agenda signed or brought to school with you, will result in discipline consequences such as silent lunch, at home or at school detention. Passport throughout the school.

Homeroom Options Eat breakfast Go to the restroom Read your AR book Complete a teacher directed activity Prepare for your classes, i.e. study, sharpen pencils, locate homework There is absolutely NO TALKING!!!

Eating Breakfast Sign the breakfast list on top of the bookcase in order to buy breakfast. Pay attention to who signed up before you so you’ll know when it’s your turn. When it is your turn, get the yellow breakfast pass on the whiteboard. You MUST have this pass in order to leave the room to get breakfast. Only 1 student can get breakfast at a time. Remain in your seat and wait patiently for your turn. DO NOT line up to wait for the pass.

Eating Breakfast When you are finished, throw away your trash in the big trashcan in the center of the POD. DO NOT throw away your trash in my classroom trashcan! Clean your desk by wiping any liquid or jelly off of the surface. I have cleaner and paper towels if needed.

Restrooms There are 2 restroom passes located on the whiteboard: Pink for girls and Blue for boys. Get the appropriate pass in order leave the classroom to use the restroom. Show your pass to the POD monitor in order to use the restroom.

Before coming to HR If you arrive prior to 8:10, report directly to the cafe' to sign in with Coach Lougher. You must get a pass from him if you have any morning activities.
