3. The 3 Be’s of the classroom

4. 1. Be Respectful
Share the talking space while having discussions and respect all opinions given.
Treat all students and teachers like you would treat yourself.
Follow instructions the 1st time given.
Treat all school property better than you would treat your own (desks, calculators…)
The TEACHER dismisses class, not the bell.

5. 2. Be Responsible
Come to class prepared with all materials needed for class:
Integrated Math II notebook/Geometry Notebook
Textbook
HW if assigned
Your BRAIN
DO your best on every single assignment. We cannot grow without giving an effort.
Be accountable for all actions. Arguing is NOT an option.
Show all work on assignments where necessary. NO WORK = NO CREDIT CIRCLE AND HIGH LIGHT ALL ANSWERS!

6. 3. Be Here
Be in your seat and on task WHEN the bell rings with all proper materials, not after.
Take notes and pay attention during class. NO SLEEPING
Attend class regularly. How are you supposed to learn if you are not here?
If absent from class, it is YOUR responsibility to get any missing work or notes from class.
Be Active in class. Take charge of your education! 
Give it your ALL every single day. You control your success.

Assignments will be tracked on an assignment sheet, as well as online through my website.

11. Hall Pass Usage
Students are required to use their own agenda when asking to leave class.
NO SHARING AGENDAS
Lost agendas can be replaced for $5.
It is suggested that students handle all business during the 6-minute transition period between classes.

12. My Expectations
I expect you to come to class every day ready to actively engage in your learning.
I expect you to respect everyone equally in this room.
I expect you to work cohesively when working in groups, equally contributing to the task at hand.
I expect you to give it your all every single day.
I expect you to succeed and have fun doing it!

13. My Promise to You I promise to treat you with the up most respect.
I promise to be open to help in any way that I can.
I promise to make this a fun and exciting year!

14. Tutoring Opportunities
Throughout the school year, my job is to be here to help you however I can!
NEVER be afraid to ask for help.
BEFORE SCHOOL OPEN TUTORING HOURS:
MONDAY - FRIDAY– 7:30 AM to 8:00 AM. (TUESDAYS WILL BE EXCLUDED FOR MEETINGS)

15. Cell Phones
School policy is that there are only 3 times that you may have your phones out: before 8:05, during your lunch, and after 3:15.
UNLESS GIVE PERMISSION TO USE IN CLASS, this classroom is a phone free zone.
You will be given ONE warning before being written up for use of cell phone.
Repeat offenders will be written up for use as well as continuous disregard to the rule.
Charging Phones – You cannot charge your phone in this room UNLESS we are using your device.
And no, I do not have a charger you can use. So do not ask. 

16. Substitute Behavior
Attendance is important to this class as well as others. Not only for you, but me.
I plan on being here every single day and so should you!
In the event that I am not here, I expect you to act BETTER than you would if I was even here.
Some things to remember on those days:
Attendance is taken based on the seating chart. If you are not in your assigned seat at that time, you will be marked absent.
Complete all work as assigned and follow all directions given.
Leave the room neat and organized with all materials placed back where they should go.
All classroom rules and expectations hold NO MATTER WHO IS IN THE ROOM.
Any violators will be dealt with upon my return.

17. Expectations with Notes
Taking notes is vital to your success in my class.
How are you suppose to study and review if you do not have anything to look back over?
You are expected to keep up with your notes using your Integrated Math Notebook.
General rule of thumb: If I have it in my notes, so should you.

18. OneDrive, Student Email, and Website
We will use a lot of technology throughout the school year, and it is vital that you know how to have access to these tools.
Student – Each of you has been provided with a student account. If you do not know how to access this account, let me know, and I can provide you your address.
OneDrive – This is a virtual “flash drive” that each of you have access to. I will be sharing a folder with you that will provide you access to hw, and important documents for our class. It is VITAL that you know how to access this folder.
Website – Beginning this year, I will be using my website to also give updates to the events in our class as well as update what we have been doing. This will be a great resource if you are absent from class.
I will post homework assignments on my web site.

19. Organization of the Classroom
It is vital that you know where all the important pieces are to the classroom, so let’s take a tour!!

Current Events Board
Teacher Desk
Wall of Fame
