In our community, we have rules to help us get along with each other. • Our class rules are: • Must be in the room by the time the tardy bell rings, or you will be counted tardy. • Gum will be allowed if it is not disrupting the class. No candy unless given by Mrs. Mays. • Bring all materials to class. This includes 3-ringed notebook with notebook paper, planner, pencil/ (red) pens, and assignment(s). • Respect is expected! • The bell does not dismiss you, I will.
