14. Special Guideline
Everything that I do is in your best interest, so please
respect the “No Whining” Rule this semester.

15. Dismissal
• The teacher dismisses you, not the clock.
Leaving early, or lining up inside or the classroom
before dismissal is unacceptable.
• Wait until the teacher finishes and officially dismisses
you with:
“Ok, I’ll see you tomorrow- Have a nice day.”
• Pick up all of your belongings and put all trash in the
proper place (i.e. not the floor)

16. Sign out sheet
•Drop your ID in the bowl, and grab hall pass.
•Raise your hand, and ask for permission.

17. Getting your Attention
• I’ll say “college”
and you’ll respond with “ready.”
•I’ll ring bell, or

18. Google classroom
