The Strike System You get a “Strike” every time you break the rules in class: –Gum, tardies, cell phones, disruption, etc. –At three strikes, you get an /phone call home –After this, you receive a detention for each strike.
If you are not inside the classroom when the bell finishes ringing, you will be considered tardy. - This means what it says! I will not argue with you about it! Unless you have a pass from another teacher, you will be marked tardy and will get a strike.
Journal: There will always be a journal entry posted on the front whiteboard when you walk into class. I expect you to come in and immediately get to work on this assignment. If you want to play, stay outside.
“My Time” -When I need your attention, I will say, “my time”, I expect the class to quiet down and be ready for instruction. I expect you to help each other out with this procedure. If you hear me say “my time,” alert your neighbors.
Paper Headings: in the upper right-hand corner of your paper: -Every paper you turn in will have the name, date, period number, and assignment in the upper right - hand corner.
Please write in pencil or in blue or black ink! If your writing is poor, feel free to type your assignments! If I can’t read it, it’s wrong.
If you need a pen, paper, etc: -Sneakily ask your neighbors for supplies, do not ask me. We need you to remember your materials. If nobody will lend you a pencil, wait for a quiet moment and give me collateral.
If you are finished with an assignment early: -You can work on other assignments, but ask me first!
Restroom/Water Policy: Always ask for permission before going to use the restroom. I only allow one student at a time out of class. You get 5 bathroom passes per semester.
