A rule is just something that results in a consequence when broken. • Failure to follow proper procedures and ignore expectations will result in some form of an appropriate consequence. • Loss of points, parent conference, detention, missing out on “luxury activities”, etc.
Procedures • Enter the room quietly • You don’t have to be silent, but DO NOT be disruptive. • Model? • Begin to work on the posted Bell Work immediately • If you want to talk to someone before class, do so in the hallway • Be in your seat when the bell rings • Otherwise you are tardy • Leave the room as you entered it • The bell doesn’t dismiss you, I do
