It will be timed (5-7 min.) • Review HW – grade it yourself or with a partner • Start new lesson – note taking • Class work assignment or practice • Pack up 2 minutes before class ends • Stay in seat and I will dismiss you – not the bell
Consequences • Verbal Warning/Re-direct/Move seat • Parent Contact • Detention • Referral ** Severe disruption of class will result in immediate removal from the classroom
Restroom Policy • Students should attempt to use the restroom between classes. School policy prevents students from leaving the classroom the last 10 minutes of the period. • It is important that you do not leave the class during instruction.
Cheating Policy • All assignment, unless previously discussed, are to be completed independently. • Please DO NOT cheat! You are only cheating yourself. • If you do not understand a concept let me know so I can review it again prior to the quiz or test.
