Each student will receive 5 emergency passes per quarter. These are to be used during independent practice times if you need to go to the restroom or your locker. What happens if you do not use them? You will receive tickets!

Reminder that phones should be off & in your locker from 7:45 – 2:10. Cell Phone Policy Reminder that phones should be off & in your locker from 7:45 – 2:10. Students who do not follow this rule will have their phone sent to the office. Remind students that they are to choose partners that they are not best friends with when doing pair up.

Attention is needed! Teacher or office will give signal that attention is needed: raising hand, ringing of the bell, the announcement tone is heard, “Voices off in 3-2-1…” STOP what you are doing PUT things down (have your hands free) LOOK at the teacher GIVE your full attention LISTEN for what the teacher as to say

Stability Balls! Appropriate amount of movement only!!!! Careful with writing utensils while using them. No kicking, throwing, or misusing the stability balls. Who gets the stability balls?

Homework Homework should be written down in your assignment notebook every day. Homework will be assigned nightly and will reinforce the work we are doing in class. Homework will be checked as part of your next day’s lesson and is expected to be completed when you walk into class. If you do not complete your homework… You will be required to attend academic lab during your lunch and you will automatically lose 50% of your points.
