Classroom Expectations
· Be in your seat when the tardy bell rings. Check board for daily assignments.
· Visit the restroom and your locker between classes. Trips outside the classroom will be made in case of emergency only, and students must sign out and obtain a hall pass before leaving the room.
· Assignments will be due on the posted date. Ten percent of the total possible points for the assignment will be deducted for each day the assignment is late. Students who are absent from school have one day for every excused day of absence to make up assignments. Please ask about missed assignments when you return to school.
· Bring your textbook, binder, and writing utensil to class daily. You are responsible for your own belongings; please don’t leave your materials in the classroom or expect your classmates to look after them.
· Always show respect for your classmates, teacher(s), guests, and classroom. Please use appropriate language, listen, throw away all trash, and do not write on the desks, walls, or bulletin boards.
· Cellphones and earbuds should be kept in your locker, pocket, or purse during class.
