8. Mr. Saunders’ Class Rules (THE CLASS MARK)
I have very high expectations regarding your classroom behavior, and I use a class mark system that helps maintain an excellent learning environment for all students during class time.
At the beginning of the term, you are given 10 points; it is up to you to keep them. Marks will be deducted each time I am forced to respond to your behavior with regard to the following:

9. Be in your seat when the bell rings.
Follow directions the first time they are given.
Raise your hand and wait until you are recognized before speaking.
Stay in your assigned seat unless otherwise stated.
No cursing or vulgar or offensive language.
Keep your desk and surrounding area clean.
Come to class with all books and necessary materials.
No personal grooming in class.

10. Respect others by not talking when the teacher or other students are talking.
No FOOD passes the classroom door. Drinks may enter.
No music playing devices during instruction, discussion or lessons. They stay away until you have received permission to use them.
Listen QUIETLY to announcements and room calls ( Oh Canada)
No , messaging or unwarranted www surfing during class
Beginning of Class – Take seat quietly…Do NOT turn on computers or login until instructed to do so.

11. Do not shut down early and line up at the door until instructed to do so…Please remain in seats and working until then.
End of Class – Log Off computers, turn monitors off and place mouse up-side-down so the roller-ball is showing.
If you miss a day you are still responsible for catching up and having all assignments, notes, etc accounted for in your portfolio.
Students who help me maintain a comfortable, productive learning environment earn higher term marks than those who do not.
