3. Tardies If you are not in my room when the bell is ringing – you are tardy! Do not bother running down the hall. YOU ARE LATE! 5 th period – if you are not with my class when I pick everyone up from lunch – you are late. Do not tell me that a teacher is going to send an e-mail about your tardy; you are late until I receive some sort of notice telling me otherwise If you do not have a pass with you upon entering my class late – you are TARDY and NO – you may not leave to go and get a pass

4. Tardies Continued 3 tardies = Morning detention: 7:45am – 8:40am. You must bring back your detention slip signed or else it will be as if you did not show up at all. 4 tardies + = write up. If you are late or do not show up for detention – you will be written up.

5. CHAMPS What does it mean? Let’s review!! C : Conversation – Are you (the student) allowed to talk during the activity? If so – at what level? H: Help – How will the student ask for help during the activity? How will you get the teacher’s attention? If it says raise your hand, then you should do so, but continue to work until you are acknowledged.
