Rules and Procedures
What are they good for?
• Maximizing safety
• We want you to be safe. We also would like to be safe.
• Maximizing success
• Believe it or not, we want you to succeed! We will work
very hard to give you the most enjoyable and fair learning
environment possible, and to make sure that the more
effort you put in the more you get out of this class.
The Rules
Follow instructions given to you
the first time, and every time.
• This prevents time wasting. There is a lot to cover this year;
choosing to not follow instructions sabotages your
classmates’ (and your own) learning experience, and in
some circumstances can endanger them (and yourself).
• We will always try to be as clear as possible when giving
instructions, but if you are confused please don’t hesitate to
ask for clarification.
Keep Yourself to Yourself
Keep your hands, feet, and belongings to yourself.
• This is both for safety reasons and for the courtesy
of your classmates and teachers.
Hands Up
Raise your hand and wait for
permission to speak.
• This is about mutually respect between you, your
classmates, and the teachers.
• Waiting for permission to speak ensures that everyone
has the chance to be heard.
• Unless specifically requested by a teacher, “choral”
style calling out will not be accepted.
• I will not compete with you for the attention of the
class.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Respect your school, your classroom,
yourself, and others.
• This is an all encompassing rule – treat your school,
your classroom, yourself, your classmates, and your
teachers with respect.
Use Your Words
Speak politely, no offensive language or
put-downs.
• Any hateful comments on race, gender, sexuality,
political views, appearance, religion, or any other
type of perceived characteristic will not be tolerated –
this applies to serious as well as “joking” comments.
• The use of “shut up” is impolite and inappropriate
and has no place in this classroom.
• Rule of tongue: if you aren’t sure if something is
offensive or not, assume it is.
Do Not Pass GO.
Do Not Collect $200.
The following severe disruptions will
result in being sent to the office
immediately:
Fighting
Damaging school property (including property
of the teacher or other students)
Threatening either of the above
Or others at the teacher’s discretion

discretion and may be done for good or bad behaviors.

Procedures
Entering the Classroom
Please enter quietly and sit in your assigned seat
Take out the materials you need
Check the agenda board, write down the
homework, and get started on the Do Now activity
The Universe was Early
(you are late)
Enter quietly, drop off your pass with a teacher,
take a seat, and begin working
If you do not have a pass, it is an unexcused late
arrival
* More than 5 minutes late is considered a cut
Three unexcused late arrivals results in parental
contact and a lunch detention
Attention Please
If one of the teachers says, “Alright stop!” you will respond

After responding you should be quietly facing me and be
ready to listen to me.
Handing in Homework
Homework will be checked or turned in at the
beginning of class.
Papers will be passed to the left of the room, then
from the back of the room up toward the front.
A teacher will collect the papers from the front
corner and place them in the period’s folder on Mr.
Lerner’s desk.
My Dog Ate It
(you don’t have your homework)
You must hand in a Student Responsibility Report
This does not count for a grade, you must still hand in your
homework the next day
Homework will be accepted a day late for half credit
After a day, late homework will not be accepted
Absence makes the work grow
longer
If you are absent on the day that an assignment
is due, you must hand in the work the day you
return to school to receive full credit.
If you are absent on the day that work is
assigned, you are responsible for finding out
what you missed, getting the work, and handing
it in on the time agreed upon with me.
Leaving the Classroom
If you need to use
the bathroom, hold
up 3 fingers
• One boy and one girl will be allowed
out of the classroom at a time.
• Sign the sign-out on your way out.
If you need to go to
the nurse, raise your
hand and let me
know what is wrong
Leaving the room for
any reason requires
you to sign out and
take a pass
• Passes are located next to the agenda
board.
• Goggles will let me know someone is
out.
Everyday I’m Shuffling
Stay in your seat unless you have
permission to get up.
If you need to sharpen your pencil, hold your
pencil up to request permission to get up.
If you need anything else, such as paper or a
tissue, raise your hand to ask.
I Did All the Things
There will usually be an extra activity available to
work on if you finish work early.
Often, this activity will give you an opportunity to
start that night’s homework or will be worth some
extra credit.
You should also always have a book to read if you
have time.
Participation
Please participate! I want to hear
what you have to say!
Make all questions and comments
relevant to the current discussion.
If your question or comment is off
topic, write it down and ask or tell
me later.
• Use the I’m Curious
About box.
Dismissal
The bell does not dismiss you,
and you do not dismiss
yourselves.
I will dismiss you at the end of
the period by saying “Have a
nice day!”
Hand It Over
When handing someone any object that is fragile,
really expensive, or potentially dangerous you
must do the following:
If you are the giver do
not let go of the object
until the receiver says,
“thank you”.
If you are the receiver
make sure you have a
good hold on the object
and then say, “thank
you”.
OK Computer
Handle computers with care
• Be gentle with the computer.
• Do not download or install any programs or
applications without a teacher’s permission.
• Do not visit any inappropriate websites.
Put the computer back into the spot that
matches its number and plug it back in.
• I will be walking around the room and recording who
has which computer.
• Failing to do this will result in a lunch detention.
BYOD
All BYOD devices must be
approved
• You may not have your device out
without a teachers’ permission.
• When permission is granted the device
may only used for the purpose the
permission was request.
• Devices being used inappropriately or
without permission will be confiscated.
