Name Date Mrs. Stoops Biology Block (1,3,4)

10. Finishing Work Early:
- Wait quietly until the next instruction is given. - You may: check your work, read, do make-up work, work on homework, or sit quietly.

11. If You Are Absent:
- Ask a classmate what you missed, for notes, what the homework was, etc…
- Ask me for any handouts at the beginning of the class or as soon as it is appropriate.
It is your responsibility to find out what you missed and to make it up.
I DO NOT chase people down to tell them what they missed. You are in high school- that is YOUR job to find out.

12. Leaving the Room:
If called out, quietly pack your materials and leave.
You are responsible for what you miss.
- No one is to leave the room without a pass.

13. Bathroom: - No bathroom without a pass (in your agenda).
I am not obligated to let you go. That is what passing time is for!
Do not ask in the middle of an activity or during notes. The answer will be….

14. Turning in Papers:
- At the beginning of the class, put it in the “turn it in” bin on the front counter.
If I collect work, pass it to the front. I will collect it as I walk by.
Heading must be on all work you turn in.

15. Classroom Discussion:
Please participate.
I want to hear what you have to say.
Raise your hand and wait to be called on.
Make all questions and comments relevant to the current discussion.
If your question is off topic, write it down and ask it later.

16. Moving Around the Room:
- You must ask permission by raising your hand before getting out of your seat. - Do not ask to get up during a classroom discussion or while taking notes. - Get the supplies you need (paper, tissues, pencil sharpener, hand sanitizer…) as you walk in to class. If you need it during class, you must ask permission to get up.

17. Extra Copies of Handouts:
- All students get one free copy from me.
- All work is posted on my class website.
- You must print additional copies on your own time (at home, Panther Period…).
- Printing is 10¢ per page in the library.
You may copy an assignment by hand if it is legible.
My school website: go to click school staff, click Stoops.

18. Class Dismissal
- The teacher dismisses you, not the bell. - Do not pack up prior to the bell. - Wait until the teacher finishes and officially dismisses you with, “Have a nice day!”
