8. “Open” and “Closed”  Each classroom will either have a green “Open” sign or a red “Closed” sign posted outside their classroom.  Students may enter an “Open” classroom for tutorial  Unless students have a stamp from that teacher, they may not enter a “Closed” classroom  Teachers may close their classroom at their convenience

9. What if I don’t have a stamp?  Students will have a choice of where they go to study or do homework  You may not enter a closed classroom, which will have a red “Closed” sign posted on the door  “Open” and “Closed” class schedules will be posted online on Mondays. They will also be posted around campus, including classrooms  The quad and library will always be “Open”

10. What about books?  If you know you need to work primarily on a particular subject, go to that class.  Each POD will have 5 books from other subject areas of that grade level for students to use.  The library, quad, P.E. classroom, and History will have a cart with both 7 th and 8 th grade books  You are to have an ID card to check out a book

11. Other Information  In case of emergency, line up with your MOD 4 on the volleyball/basketball courts  Substitutes will have tutorial – if you have a stamp, report to class  Tutorial in the quad is located on the science side and the center tables. –Red tables: homework area –Benches and planters: reading only
