1. Classroom Procedures and Expectations Ms. Quinn Sonoran Trails Middle School

2. WELCOME We’re going to have a Wonderful year together. Have Positive Expectations! The Procedures we learn today will help us create a Highly Efficient and Orderly Classroom.

3. Why Procedures? Without procedures, students do not know what is expected of them. Procedures facilitate efficiency. Human Nature is to have procedures.

4. Arrival to Class When you arrive at our class, I will greet you in the hallway. When you enter the classroom, find your materials and sit in your assigned seat.

5. When Class Begins (Bell) The bell ringing is a procedure to tell you that it is time to begin class. At the bell, you are to begin your warm-up exercise. There should be no talking or moving about during.

6. General Classroom Expectations Respect others personal space including not touching others. Be respectful of everyone and everything. Ask for permission, before using ANY technology. Allow others to finish speaking before you start speaking.
