Mr. Hoogeveen outlines several classroom policies for his 7th grade US History class. Students are expected to arrive before the bell rings and remain in class until dismissal. Respect for others is required, and students must raise their hands to speak and avoid interrupting. Foul language and cell phone use are prohibited. Bathroom passes are needed to leave during lectures. Parents will be notified if students break rules or perform poorly on homework or tests. The teacher believes working together will make for a great school year.

Violators will suffer special privileges during class.Raise your hand- If you want to be called on, contribute to the class, or need and type of help, please raise your hand and I will assist you as soon as possible. You will be asked to raise you hand if ignored, and if broken again the loss of points will be assessed. Interrupting- Please refrain from talking when others have the floor.
