The following guidelines are based on the concept that the classroom is a place where everyone should have the opportunity to learn in a comfortable, orderly and safe environment. ON ARRIVING TO CLASS:  Be on time, in complete uniform. There are consequences for habitual lateness.  Have with you for every class, your notebook (3- ringed binder & paper), textbook and supplies.  Go straight to your assigned seat, open your books and be ready for class.

DURING A LESSON:  In a normal classroom situation, ONLY ONE PERSON (usually the teacher) SHOULD BE TALKING. Please show respect and listen to others. DO NOT shout out answers or requests. RAISE YOUR HAND AND WAIT TO BE CALLED ON.  Pay attention and take careful notes as directed.  STAY in your seat unless you have been given permission to leave it.

DURING A LAB ACTIVITY:  LISTEN CAREFULLY AS THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN.  Work quietly and efficiently with your partner(s), and remain in your assigned work space except when obtaining experiment materials.  Follow the procedure carefully, write down appropriate observations.  CLEAN and return all equipment to its PROPER location.  Leave your work area and all equipment clean.

AT ALL TIMES:  FOOD and DRINKS (only water in a sealed plastic bottle) are NOT permitted in the classroom.  OUTDOOR clothing must be left in your locker.  Trips to WASHROOM and LOCKERS should be made during lunch and travel time, unless there is an exceptional circumstance.  Inappropriate language is NOT acceptable in the classroom.  I-pods, cell phones etc. ARE NOT TO BE USED IN THE CLASS.

AT THE BELL:  Upon hearing the bell, you MAY begin to pack up your personal belongings.  Remain in your seat UNTIL DISMISSED. AFTER CLASS:  Complete ALL assigned work and lab reports.  Make arrangements to see the teacher if you are having difficulties.  Re-read your notes and assigned text material nightly.
