How to… Have a great year in Mrs. Parker’s
How to… Walk into my classroom. Enter quietly. • Be on time! Sign the tardy log if you are late. You get one free tardy per nine weeks. Always read the TV screen or board for directions. • Follow those instructions in your assigned seat. • Bell work
Thinking you are smart and mature does not prove it to others. You must show it with your actions.
“Whoever you were before today, that person’s turn is over.” Freedom Writers Today is a new start!
How to…turn in assignments. • Put MLA heading on everything (top left corner) • Your name, my name, class/period, date. • Example: Jane Done Mrs. Parker English 9 11 January 2012 • Turn it in to the designated area for that assignment.
How to…get dismissed on time. • The bell does not dismiss you. • Do not pack up 5 minutes before it’s time to go. (HUGE pet peeve!) • You must be in your seats and completely quiet before you will be dismissed.
How to… keep your teacher happy. • Never complain about work. Class is tough, but fair. • Never make excuses; although, if there is a major issue at home please communicate with your teachers. • Bottom line…Be on time. Be respectful. Be prepared!
