Mr. Lord’s Social Studies
Rules and Procedures
1. Be in your seat with all needed materials when the bell rings (You will be counted tardy if not in your seat)

3. Listen while the teacher or another member of the class is speaking
(rude comments or behavior will not be tolerated).
4. The teacher, not the bell, dismisses you.

Folder Organization
Students are required to have a folder, which is to be brought to class everyday. An
assignment book will be kept by the student to keep track of assignments, projects,
and tests. All papers are to be kept in chronological order. I will check the notebook
at various times of the year.
