2. Class begins and ends only when the bell rings and the door closes. Class ends when I signal you to pack up and line up. DO NOT begin packing up before given permission to pack up. You may miss out on important information such as homework and announcements.

3. Look at the attendance wall. If your name is on the attendance wall you are responsible for the attendance for that week/day. Get your five subject notebook or binder. Take a seat and get out pencil. Begin Power Work Activity.

4. Clean room: Before Leaving the Class!! Until my room is free of paper on the floor no one leaves. Prepare to leave: Do not prepare to leave until the lesson is completed or I tell you to prepare to leave.

7. You may only leave the room the first 10 or last 10 minutes of class. The first 10 minutes of class begins once I have given instructions for the day’s work. I will try to announce when you may leave. You may ask by raising your hand and having your agenda filled out ready for me to sign. We will go to the bathroom as a group midway through class.

8. Assignments may be turned in ONLY when I ask them to be passed up. DO NOT give the homework to me and expect me to keep up with it. If you give your work to me without me asking for it you will have to do the work over again if I lose it.

You will need to look in the appropriate folder for your make-up assignment with your name on it. If you do not see your name in the make up work DO NOT assume you do not have work to make up. DO NOT turn your work into me. You need to turn it into the appropriate basket.

10. It is a pet peeve when you don’t have your homework completed. Students will fill out a pink slip. This is not a replacement for the uncompleted or lost work. However, it lets me know why you didn’t turn it in and to EXPECT you to turn in the work late.

11. Tests will be given more often this year, but I will let you know when you will be taking a test. We will review the day before and take the test the next day.
