Mrs. Hutton’s History Class

1. Mrs. Hutton’sHistory Class Rules and Expectations

2. Rules • Be safe • Be Respectful • Be Responsible • Be a Learner

3. LHS Phrase • Whatever it takes, no excuses • What does that mean to you? • What is the teacher’s responsibility? • What is the student’s responsibility?

4. Pause • Take a minute to familiarize yourself with my classroom. • Where is the American flag? • Where do you turn in work? • Where are the art supplies? • Where are the passes? • Look at all the maps (we’ll be using them) • Where is the missing work file? • Anything else you notice that might be significant?

5. Rules • You must be in your seat when the tardy bell rings, otherwise you will be counted tardy. If you are tardy you must report to the cafeteria (or library during lunch block) and be escorted back to class. • Please do not be out of your seat unless you have permission. Unless it is group work time or free time, please ask to do anything: sharpen pencil, bathroom, drink, supplies, etc.

6. Rules • Inappropriate language is unacceptable. If you’re unsure, then don’t say it! Cussing, bullying, and perverse language is all unacceptable. You will receive one warning and anything beyond will result in an office referral.

7. Rules • Cheating will not be tolerated. If I catch you cheating you will receive an automatic zero. • Plagiarism is unacceptable. Plagiarism will result in a zero and an alternate assignment will be given. It’s easy to avoid; cite your sources. Please ask if you do not know. • To help avoid academic dishonesty during tests, the entire social studies department has agreed to place any bags (purses, backpacks or otherwise) at the front of the classroom. Only a pencil, test, and answer sheet will be on your desk. Everything else will be neatly put away and hidden under your desk

8. Rules • A no talking policy will generally be in effect. Please respect the teacher and other students when they are talking. I will not address you during lecture unless you have raised your hand. There will be time for class discussions, group work, and free time; however, unless I have allotted this time, please do not speak out of turn. I won’t interrupt you, so don’t interrupt me. • No Cell phones during lecture time, tests, quizzes, etc. You may listen to music during independent work—do not abuse this privilege! I always have the right to change this rule. If I ask you to put your cell phone (or any electronics) away, then promptly do so!

9. Rules • Hall passes will be given on a limited basis. If you get a pass to go somewhere, make sure you get to your destination and get back as soon as possible. Wandering the halls will not be tolerated. There are teachers and administrators on duty, so don’t wander! To leave the classroom you must have a hall pass, my signature, and sign out on the departure log. • Absolutely no food or drinks (besides water) in the classroom.

10. Rules • You are responsible for getting any make-up work due to an absence. I will always keep extra worksheets and assignments in the magazine rack next to the window. I will try to keep an extra worksheet/assignment with your name on it. Always check the “Missing Work” slot in the magazine rack before grabbing a “Leftover”. • Late Work and Make-Up Policy:  “When a student fails to meet designated due dates and deadlines relating to formative work during a unit of study, that student will receive a maximum of 75% of the points possible for any late work submitted on or before the summative assessment for that particular unit.  Late work during a unit of study will not be accepted after the summative assessment for that unit has been given for and a zero will be recorded in the grade book for that work.  A student will have seven calendar days after the deadline/due date of a summative project, paper, or other assignment to submit such work for a maximum of 60% of the points possible.  After the seventh calendar day, summative work will not be accepted and a zero will be recorded in the grade book for that work.  Teachers may use discretion when working with individual students who have verifiable extenuating circumstances beyond their control.” • *2013-2014 Handbook

11. Rules • Attendance Policy:  “Students who are absent for more than six (6) class periods during the semester will not be eligible to earn credit for that course unless a waiver is granted through the appeals process.” • All district-wide policies and rules will be followed in my classroom. Please be sure to check your student handbook for new rules and amended procedures.

12. Rules • I will be available before and after school. I will generally arrive around 7:30am and will stay to at least 4:00pm.

Once outside, we will meet as a class by the building trades’ structure for role call.
