10 TH GRADE CHEMISTRY MS. JOSEPH & MS. TOWNSEND N OTES : C HEMISTRY C LASS P ROCEDURES

Start of Class Entering the classroom: Your volume should be at a level 1. Once the bell rings, you are at a level 0 and should stay there until your teacher tells you otherwise. Homework: Place last night’s homework on the upper left-hand corner of your desk. Pick up the day’s handouts from the table at the door.  That day’s homework should be put away immediately. If your teacher sees the homework out during class, you will receive a 0 on the assignment AND 1 demerit for being off task.

Start of Class Tardy: You will be marked tardy if your bottom is not in your seat when the bell rings. Sit in your assigned seat, take out the previous night’s homework and pass to the left, write your HW assignment in your agenda, and begin your Do Now.

Do Now Put forth your best effort on your Do Now. It may be collected and/or graded. You may not work with a partner, but you are welcome to use any notes or handouts from class.

Handing in Homework Your teacher will check your homework during the Do Now. Homework that is late, missing, or <100% complete will earn a LaSalle. You may make up the assignment in LaSalle that day and turn it in to my mailbox after LaSalle for 50% credit. The HW assignment must be in my mailbox by 8 am the next morning or it will not be accepted.

Coming to Attention & Hand Raising I will countdown to 0 to come to attention. If you are still talking after I get to 0, you will automatically receive 1D (NO warning). You are always expected to raise your hand and wait to be called on before speaking. If you choose to call out, you will receive 1 warning and then 1 demerit.

Passing papers: Pass papers quickly and calmly. Pass them to your left only. Put your paper at the bottom of the stack and make sure all of the papers in your pile are facing the same direction.

During Class Procedures Remain in your seat at all times. Raise your hand and cover your nose to indicate that you need a tissue. Throw your tissues/papers in the trash as you leave class. Take all personal items with you when you leave class. Do not leave ANYTHING in the lab drawers.  2D if I find it to everyone nearby! NO exceptions.

Consequences Classroom consequences: warning  demerit  escort. NO exceptions.

Personal Needs If you need to use the bathroom during class, raise your hand and cross your fingers.  Do not request a bathroom escort during instructional time except unless it is an emergency; wait for independent work time.  Do not request a bathroom escort during the first or last 10 minutes of class. If you go to the restroom in class without an MCP, you will receive 1D.

Greeters It is your responsibility to check the greeter board daily.

Taking Care of Our Room You should never touch the following unless directed to do so: - Sinks - Gas Valves - Electrical Outlets You will receive automatic demerits for touching any of these. This is your warning.
