8/21 Igniter (Sit – do ) In your science NB (notebook) or a piece of paper, write three school appropriate questions you have regarding me or the class this year. Mr. Kendra – 8 East Science

All PD’s on desk at all times

What happens if you break Rule #1?

Discipline Policy Option 1 Three (3) hand written summaries due at the beginning of class the next period. Option 2 Detention before or after school – my choice (You will clean desks, sinks, floors, ect…)

You will automatically be assigned summaries. If you do not want to write summaries you must notify me by the end of class. I will then write you a detention. Summaries are a substitute for a detention. Failure to complete by the beginning of next class period will result in two (2) detentions. Skipping /abbreviating as much as one word counts as incomplete. Summaries are between you and I. Parents usually are not notified. Summaries are recorded as a detention in my records.
