Procedures for the Classroom

Beginning of Class

• Enter the classroom quietly and go directly to your seat.
  
  
• Copy the assignment to your binder reminder first thing.
  
  
• Start the opening activity immediately after copying the assignment so you won't run out of time to finish it.
  
  
• Get the assignment out from the previous day and check answers, wait to pass it in until told to.
  
  
• Unless there is an emergency I can not answer any questions or do anything until after roll is taken, please wait until I finish taking attendance if you need to talk to me.
  
  
• Permission slips, progress reports, grade checks, and such will have to wait until after class to be processed.
  
  
  
  

  During Class

• Restroom needs must be taken care of during passing periods and at break and lunch.
  
  
• Remain in your seat all period unless I give you permission to be out of your seat.
  
  
• During instruction I want your full attention. Please stop what you are doing, put your pencils down and watch what I am doing. You will be given time to copy from the board at various intervals during the instruction process.
  
  
• Sharpening pencils and throwing out trash will have to wait until instruction is over.
  
  
• Do not be disrespectful of someone if you think their question is dumb. I want everyone to feel safe from ridicule when asking questions in class.
  
  
• Please do not carry on conversations during instructon, you will have time to talk when you are working with partners or in small groups.
  
  
• When working with partners or in small groups you must behave and remain on task or lose the privilege.
  
  
• Stop work when told to and get ready to leave so I can dismiss you on time.
  
  
  
  

  End of Class

• Class is not over when the bell rings, remain in your seat until I dismiss the class.
  
  
• I will dismiss class when:
  • Everyone is in their assigned seat.
  • There is no trash on the desks or floor.
  • The textbooks are back on their numbers.
  • Any empty chairs are under their desks.
  
  
• Please push your chair under your desk before leaving and walk out politely.
