  3. I have one basic rule.It applies to everyone (including me). Ready? Are you SURE? Wait for it…

  4. respect Dictionary.com: Esteem foror a sense of the worth orexcellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability. Example: I have great respect for herjudgment. Urban Dictionary.com: Respect means valuing each others’ points of views. It means being open to being wrong. It means accepting people as they are. It means not dumping on someone because you're having a bad day. It means being polite and kind always, because being kind to people is not negotiable. It means not dissing people because they're different from you. It means not gossiping about people or spreading lies.

  5. Respect is the rule • Respect the Teacher. Follow directions the first time.   • Respect Others. Keep language and actions polite, encouraging and school-appropriate. Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself. • Respect the Content. Be on task and engaged during learning and work times. • Respect the Learning Materials. Bring your binder, paper, and pencil to class every day. • Respect School Policy. Electronics will be turned off and out of sight.

  6. Respect The Teacher • Follow directions the first time they are given. • Raise your hand when you want to speak. • Stay in your seat when instruction is being given. • Give respect to get respect. Do Not

  10. Respect the Materials • Bring binder, pencil and paper every day to class. • These are YOUR learning materials. Treat them respectfully! Don’t waste supplies. Be careful with books. Gum goes in the trash, not under tables. • The teacher’s desk and computer area are off-limits. • When you borrow a pencil, return it! • If you break something that is mine, you will replace it (preferably with a better one!) 

  11. Respect The policy • All electronics are to be off and out of sight. • Hall passes required. • Update Falcon Facilitators every Monday, every class. • Follow the 10-Minute Rule for bathroom or water breaks (no leaving within the first or last 10 minutes of class).

After that, you will be assigned a tutorial to make up the work. • Check the Absent Work station the first day you are back. You have one day for every absent day to make up work, plus one extra day. • Clean up materials/supplies before class ends. I may be a Mom, but I’m not your Mom!
