3. PROCEDURES REVIEW
Classroom entry - you must do it silently or I will ask you to repeat the procedure. You know what you should be doing at this point in the semester, and we want to run like a well-oiled machine for the last quarter of the year
Cell phones - three strikes and you're out. I will give you two warnings about your cell phone. On the third strike, I will ask for your cell phone. If you refuse to produce the cell phone, I will call for a hall monitor to escort you out of the classroom. Two warnings is generous and disrespect about this policy will not be tolerated.
