1. Miss Pakstis’ Rules and Expectations

2. Respect Each Other and Me
Raise your hand to speak.
Do not speak when others are speaking.
Do not speak while I am speaking.
If my hand is in the air, I am trying to get your attention.
While doing class work, do not disturb other students.
This includes getting out of your seat while others are learning or calling out.
Respect each other’s belongings.
Keep the classroom clean!

3. Do NOT Touch Other People Or Their Belongings.
High fives, handshakes, and first bumps are fine.
No rough-housing or “messing around.”
Respect what is in someone desk when you are sitting their.
Respect other’s belongings in the coat area.

4. How to Get My Attention Raise your hand. The Finger System
1 – Bathroom/Drink of Water.
2 – Tissue/Pencil Sharpener.
WHEN MOVING AROUND THE ROOM WHILE OTHERS ARE WORKING: DO NOT purposely walk through desks. Take the way that will disturb the least amount of students.
If I am at my desk doing work and I do not see your hand raised, you may come up to my desk.
Please use this during tests, and if a student is already at my desk, please wait until he/she sits down and then come up.

5. Consequences One Verbal Warning. Another Verbal Warning.
Signed Friday Card
Detention/Contact of Parent(s).

I want you to respect each other, me, all the other teachers, staff, volunteers, and parents.
I want you to learn the value of education, even if it means “hard work.”
I want to leave my classroom prepared and ready for high school or 8th grade.
THANK YOU, Miss Pakstis
