Entering the Classroom continued You may bring water bottles, which are especially helpful during warm weather. Be careful with your backpack and try to hook it to your chair so people don’t trip over it. You may chew gum unless it becomes a problem. Please put wrappers and finished gum in the trash can. If you crack your gum or blow bubbles, you will have to throw it away.

Technology You must have permission to use your computer. You may not use it whenever you want. You must close your computer or close it at a 45 degree angle when you are not using it in class. When you finish your work, you may use the computer on teacher approved sites or activities.

Only one student can leave the room at a time. Please try to take care of your restroom and drink needs between classes or at lunch.

If using the restroom becomes a class problem, then, if you go during class, you must come back to the room for 3 minutes after school.

Leaving the Classroom at the End of Class The bell doesn’t dismiss the class. Mrs. Yelton does. Keep out materials until I say the lesson is over. Clean up the area around you. Push in your chair when you have permission to leave, and leave quietly. The last class of the day should put the chairs on the desks. Wait until the bell rings to put up your chair. If you try to put up your chair early, you will get a demerit.

Homework Policy Homework is due on the date given by the teacher. It is posted in Schoology. If you don’t have your homework on the day that it is due, you will have to stay after school for 15 minutes to work on it. If you don’t finish it when you stay after, then you must finish it that night and return it the next day. If you don’t have the work the next day, you will go to Academic Saturday to complete it. If you don’t stay after school, you’ll get a referral. YOU DON’T HAVE THE OPTION OF NOT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK.

Materials in Classroom Look at the glass on the side of the door to find out which materials you will need for class. In Reading, always bring your computer, your orange folder, your composition notebook, pencils or pens, and a book to read. In Language Arts, bring your computer, your blue folder, your composition notebook, pencils or pens, and a book to read. When you do not have a book, or materials, you will get a demerit. You may only use black or blue ink when you use pens. You can use fun pens for grading and note taking. Ask permission to sharpen your pencil. You may sharpen it when you come to class, but you need to ask first. Use a quiet sharpener during quiet times.

Absenteeism You are responsible for making up work you miss when you are absent. DO NOT USE THE EXCUSE OF, “I DIDN’T DO IT BECAUSE I WAS ABSENT.” When someone is absent, the Absentee Assistant will fill out a paper listing the information that happened in class. He or she will put the paper in the hanging chart of papers to go home. You will find that paper the next day. Ask if you don’t see it. You will have 2 days for each day that you are absent, to complete the work you missed.

Passing Out Graded Papers Graded papers are in the hanging file on the right end of the white board. Two students will have the job of Paper People, and they will hand out the papers when they enter the classroom.

Unfinished and See Me Work If your paper says “Finish,” at the top, you must finish the paper and return it the next day. If your paper says “See Me,” at the top, you need to see Mrs. Yelton at an appropriate time, and she will help you.

Getting Help When in doubt, look about! Ask 3 before me! Raise your hand instead of yelling out!
