Get to class before the bell rings -

Enter the classroom quietly, go directly to
your assigned seat and begin the daily
Warm-Up.

Come into class ready to learn 

If you are not in your assigned seat when
the bell rings, you are tardy.

After being processed for the tardy in the
library, walk quickly back to class. Be
seated and begin Warm-Up.
First 5 minutes of class = QUIET TIME

independently.

your seat to use the pencil sharpener or
ask permission to leave the room.

for instruction to begin. Use any extra time
to read your AR book.

If you need to use the restroom or go to your
locker, do this during the 5 minute break
between our first and second hour together.
(Of course, emergencies are the exception!)

supplies (planner/AR Book), a tardy may result.

by the teacher, NOT the bell.

students!

clean and you are seated.

your responsibility unless you are given a
note by the teacher.
