CLASSROOM POLICIES

 

HOMEWORK

         All assignments will be turned in on time. On days that assignments are due, they will be turned in at the beginning of the class period. Any assignments not handed in on time, or are incomplete, are considered late. The final grade on late assignments will be reduced by 30%.

         All assignments will be done neatly. If I cannot read an assignment, it will be returned to the student to be redone and will be considered late. Calls home may be made for negligent work habits.

 

MAKE-UP WORK

         It is the responsibility of the student to obtain his/her make-up work before school, during lunch, or after school within the time allotted by school policy. Weekly work assignment sheets will be distributed. Handouts will be saved for the absent student to gather upon return.

 

EXTRA CREDIT

         Additional special projects for extra credit may be considered on an individual basis only after all daily work and any make-up tests have been completed. It is the studentÍs responsibility to ask for any extra work.

 

 

 

 

GENERAL CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR

         Follow directions the first time they are given.

         Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.

         Get permission to leave your seat.

         Show respect for each other as well as yourself. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

         Come into the class and get ready to work. DonÍt wait until the teacher is ready before you start getting ready.

         Use appropriate language at all times. Just because you heard it on TV doesnÍt mean itÍs o.k.!

         There will be rewards for consistent, appropriate behavior just as there will be punishments for inappropriate behavior.

 

CONSEQUENCES

         1st Offense: Verbal Warning

         2nd Offense: 15 minute detention

         3rd Offense: Student is sent to the office

 

         If an offense is severe enough, the student will be immediately removed from the classroom and sent to the office.

         Whenever a student is sent out of the room for disciplinary reasons, that student will not be allowed to reenter the classroom until one of the following has occurred:

         1) Student/teacher conference on the behavior.

         2) Student/teacher/parent/principal conference on behavior and how this problem can be eliminated.

 

 

BEHAVIOR FOR SUBSTITUTES

         I expect my students to behave better for a substitute than they do when IÍm in the classroom. If there are any problems noted by the sub, the student(s) will automatically have a 48 minute detention on the day the teacher returns. A student/teacher conference will also be necessary.
