I expect you to be here and be on time. If everyone is at class on time, I will allow you to leave two to three minutes early. Remember, you are in a classroom; therefore, we will remain focused on instruction and learning from bell-to-bell. I expect you to be an active listener and courteous participant. There will be a single bathroom pass. If the pass is being used, you can not go. One person to the bathroom at a time. I will respect you – always. Any form of disrespect will not be tolerated.
4
If you have missed a class, you are responsible for getting the work (and handouts) you missed. You are required to come see me before or after school to get absent work. Do not ask me before, after, or during class: “What did I miss yesterday?” You have one day for everyday missed to complete absent work. Absent work can be found in the binder for your class with your name at the top (English III).
5
My tutorial schedule is posted on the door with specific days and times I will be available for you. However, I am very flexible; if you need to see me at another time, just ask! Posted Tutorial Schedule: Mondays: By appointment only Tuesdays: 8:15 – 8:45 Wednesdays: By appointment only Thursdays: 4:15 – 4:45 Friday: By appointment only

Please refer to the Denton ISD website for any questions. Any minor or major summative grade can be re-assessed within: 10 days of the work being due if it was not turned in on time or; 10 days of the grades being posted and being returned. You must attend a mandatory tutorial before you can re- assess so you can show learning has happened. This is a learning process. Please be flexible!
7
I expect you to stay informed of your academic progress in this class as well as others. You and your parents have access to my online gradebook at all times. If you do not know your TAC login or password, I can help you get those during tutorials
8
If you walk in late, you better walk in with a pass. If you are tardy, sign the tardy log upon entering the classroom. I adhere to the DHS tardy policy. Upon your 3 rd tardy, you earn a referral. Make good choices; choose to be here on time! You’ll get to leave early if everyone arrives on time.
9
I believe in and promote the use of technology to aid learning! However, I will not tolerate off-task behavior. If I see your cell phone, it’s mine until the end of class. I will work hard to make this class enjoyable and meaningful for you; when you text during class you are missing out and disrespecting our time together. Habitual cell phone use will result in surrendering your phone everyday, Friday D-Halls, and parent phone calls. There is a space on the board that will tell you what level (no cell phones, academic use only, free use) of cell phone use is possible.
10
You may bring a snack and/or a drink to my class. I want you “here” in every sense of the word. If a snack or drink will help you concentrate in class, bring it. Pick up behind yourself! It is not my job nor the custodians to pick up what you should have thrown away. Food and drinks are a privilege in this classroom.
11
Be prepared everyday. Bring your binder everyday. Bring a pen or pencil everyday. If you do not have what you need: paper, pen, etc., take care of it before the tardy bell. Paper, pens, and pencils can always be found in the same place.
12
If you finish the day’s task with class time left, you will have 3 choices. You may: Read from a book in the library; Answer one of life’s big questions; Work on homework for another class. Just chillin’, socializing, sleeping, etc. will not be one of your choices if you finish your work early – so don’t rush it. Give your best effort – always!
13
Verbal and/or written warning Parent phone call Mandatory Tutorial Referral
14
You need to bring a ½” or 1” binder to leave in the classroom. In each binder you need to have 5 dividers and plenty of notebook paper. You will need to have at least one pen and pencil per class. I have some but to borrow one, you need to leave something of value with me (for example, a cell phone or driver’s license) that will be returned once my writing utensil is returned.
15
I need some items for my classroom. I will create a spreadsheet and based on the items you bring, you will be allowed to sit in the beanbags one day… possibly more for more items. Needed supplies: Kleenex Pencils Pens (blue, black, or red) Notebook paper Printer paper Art supplies (markers, colored pencils, crayons)
