CLASSROOM PROCEDURES
Ms. Kratt
Attendance and participation are very important in this class. An excessive number of absences, excused or unexcused, could result in failure. You are responsible for making up any assignments/quizzes/ tests when you return from an absence! Please consult the student handbook for specific school policies regarding attendance.
You must be in the room by the time the tardy bell has rung. Students who are late disrupt my instruction and the learning of others.
In-class behavior:
· Come to class prepared! Each day you will need to bring your books, notebook, writing utensil and a positive attitude! I do not keep enough spare supplies for everyone, so if you forget yours, you may have double work for the next day!
· Listening rules! Idle conversations, note passing, and other distractions prevent you (and me) from meeting the day’s objectives. Do not talk while I am talking, and do not disturb another student during class discussions. Always raise your hand when you have something to say. You will get your turn.
· If an announcement is made over the PA system or television, you will stop talking and pay attention. If a visitor comes into the room, do not talk to him/her. I will let you know if the message pertains to you.
· No sleeping! There are no exceptions to this rule. Get plenty of rest. You will be awakened, and if necessary, sent out of the room.
· No eating or drinking! With the exception of first hour, you may have bottled water ONLY!
· No cell phones, no iPods or mp3 players! I will take them from you for the remainder of the hour or send them to the office if it is a continuous problem.
· If you fail to observe classroom and/or school rules you will be given a warning or be dismissed or referred to your principal.
· No lining up at the door at the end of the hour! When the bell rings you may get up and leave.
Classroom conditions: do not write on desks or make any other marks. They do not belong to you! Please leave the room in order when you leave; pick up papers, wrappers, etc., and throw them away.
Computers: you will have access to the computers if I say you may use them. Otherwise they are off-limits.
Can I go to the bathroom? If you must leave the classroom during class time, you must ask permission. Do not abuse bathroom privileges, or they will be taken away.
Assignments/tests: homework is due at the beginning of class time. Unless it is an excused absence, assignments will be accepted just one day late, but your grade will be dropped one full grade. In any case, I will not accept late/makeup work once I have passed the assignment back to the class. Get it done and get it in!! You have one week to make up tests/quizzes following an absence. No exceptions!!
Cheating: cheaters will no prosper! You will not only fail, but the grade will count as double. Do not cheat on tests, and write your own papers in your own words. Plagiarism is cheating! I will catch on fast; it is not worth it!
