1. Procedures for Classroom
1) Entering the class. Enter the class quietly through the front door, sit in your assigned seat, and do the warm
up work (either the questions on the board or worksheet on my desk). If need be, sharpen the pencil before
sitting at your desk.
2) Exiting the class. After the bell sounds, you will police the trash by your desk, I will then dismiss you, and at
that time, take your text book and place it back on the shelf, put you pencil back in the box and exit through
the front door quietly.
3) Quieting the Class. When you see me raise my hand you will: 1) Freeze; 2) Turn and face me, pay attention
and keep your eyes on me; 3) Be ready for instruction and listen to what I have to say.
4) Asking questions or seeking assistance. You will raise your hand to ask questions, to request permission to
leave your desk for any reason, (ie. sharpening your pencil, throw trash away, to get materials, etc).
5) Warm-Up Work. Complete on notebook paper, work silently on your own, use your text book if you need, and
when finished, be ready for the next part of class. Your write your name on the top right hand corner of your
paper with last name, first name. Also you will have the date and period number underneath your name.
6) Instruction. Have notebooks ready to take notes, focus on instruction, listen carefully to and follow directions,
make an honest effort to understand, and ask sensible questions at an appropriate time.
7) Study time. Work quietly, concentrate on your own work, and raise your hand for questions. If you finish
early, occupy yourself quietly-read a book-do another lesson.
8) Paper Headings. In the upper right hand corner of your paper, you will write the following and in the format
given:
Last name, First name
Period ___, Date: ________
Title: _____________________
9) Turn in homework. Homework is due at the beginning of class and will be passed to the front quietly when
prompted. The homework will remain on the desk until collected by the teacher.
10) Late Work. Will not be accepted unless you have an excused absence. If you miss an assignment or a test, you
will have one chance to make up one assignment each 6 weeks
11) Sloppy Work. Will be returned for rewrite. If I am unable to read it, I am unable to grade it.
12) Passes. Only one student will be allowed to leave the class at a time. The student will have only 2 minutes
before name being placed on board and will also forfeit the 1 point daily grade. You will only get a maximum
of 2 passes per six weeks and must sign a “sign out” sheet.
13) Food and Drink. Only allowed for special circumstances. Otherwise, all food and drink will be disposed of prior
to entering the classroom.
14) Emergency Alert. Upon hearing the emergency alert (ie fire alarm), you will leave the room quietly in a single
file through the front door, turn in the direction closest to the outside door and proceed down the side of the
hallway, exit the building and meet in the designated location.
