10. When you are absent…  Take your make-up work from the labeled folders on the side wall or the folders in the pink crate.  You have the number of days absent plus one day to complete this work.  Ask Mrs. Taylor for help if you need it. Turn in make-up work on my desk.  Make-up work not turned in will result in a zero. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!!

11. When Mrs. Taylor is absent…  Follow the regular procedures.  Listen and follow the directions the substitute teacher gives.  Be respectful.  Misbehaving for a substitute teacher results in an automatic office referral.

12. Working with Whiteboards  Write only Math.  No names, pictures, words, or any other writing but the problem you are given.  The socks are your erasers. Please do not write or draw on them.  Use a light touch. Pressing down on the markers ruins them.

14. Cell Phone Use  Look at the board for the colors.  RED, you may leave your phone on your desk, face down, and turned off.  YELLOW, you may leave your phone on your desk, face up, and on silent. We will use them for a specific activity.  GREEN, you may use your headphones and listen to music only.
