Procedures will help establish our daily routines and will help us to function more efficiently. Your participation in these procedures show your respect for the teacher, other students, and most importantly yourself

.Entering the Classroom:

•   Go directly to your desk
•  Take out your pencil, paper/notebook, and homework
•  In notebook, write your name, the date, and the agenda for the day
•  Promptly begin the daily bell ringer in your notebook.

 When you are tardy:

·         If the tardy is excused (green pass)- sign in at the table- you must have a note from another teacher, counselor, principal or attendance office- please leave the note on my desk and take your seat.

·         If the tardy is unexcused (red pass or no pass), go directly to SAFE.             

 When you are absent:

•    Make sure you have given the attendance office a note
• Get the make-up assignments/work from a classmate and write it down.
•         Pick up any worksheets from the appropriate area.
•         You will have the number of days you were absent plus one to complete any missed work. Any work after this time will be considered late and the late work policy will apply.
•          I will not ask you for make-up work. It is the responsibility of the student to complete the assignments missed.
•       Ask for the assignment before or after school. I will not give you work in the middle of class.
