EVERY student is important in the classroom and has something to contribute. Questions, answers, and sharing of thought processes all lead to everyone’s success. Our environment will be strong if we keep the following in mind: Respect my right to teach and students’ right to learn. Because eachstudent’s learning is important to me, I will not tolerate student behavior which keeps this from happening.BASIC CLASS RULES/EXPECTATIONS: 1) Show Respect 2) Make Good Decisions 3) Solve Problems DETAILS….

Your behavior is a credit to your family.Your success in this class matters greatly to me.Property Damage Policy:Destruction of property is a very serious offense. Writing, tracing, scratching, etc. on desks, walls, and others items in the room, or other types of property damage, will result in an immediate referral to the Assistant Principal for destruction of school property. It is your responsibility to check your desk at the beginning of each period for damage. If damage is found during your period, you will be held accountable for it.Attendance/Tardy Policy:Every instructional minute counts and student tardiness interferes with the learning process.? Please be respectful of your teacher and fellow classmates and be on time to class. Every student will sign in the tardy log regardless of whether the tardy is excused (usually with a note from another teacher). The tardy log will be used to verify attendance mistakes. The school tardy policy outlined in the student handbook will be enforced.TARDY POLICY: Students are expected to be in their seats and ready to work when the bell rings. TARDIES ARE CUMULATIVE! This means that the attendance office will add tardies together as they occur for each student. A tardy to math and then to English will total to two tardies.Tardy #Consequence1-4Auto call home5Administrative Conference6-9Auto call home10DART Contract11-14Administrative Detention15+Activity Restriction2127250160020Students will have the same number of days that they were absent from school to make up their work for an EXCUSED absence.
