Pink Slip This is for students who do not have the assigned homework. Fill it out. Sign and date it. Turn it in with the homework papers.

Turning in Papers I will come by and pick up your homework assignments or any other assignments needed to be turned in This way I can check and see if your homework is completed and give out pink slips accordingly Any in class work should be turned into the drawer by my desk.

When you are tardy . . . Have a seat and take out Enter quietly. Excused: Place excuse in the basket by the door Unexcused: Sign the tardy list located by the door Have a seat and take out your materials.

Bathroom Pass One bathroom pass… therefore one person can leave the classroom at a time to use the restroom Sign out on the bathroom pass form near the door so if there is any kind of emergency I know of your whereabouts

Class Dismissal Do not start packing up prior to the bell. My goal is to give you the last three minutes of every class to pack-up, ask questions, or quietly talk to friends Once I say “have a nice day” you are free to gather your things YOU MUST BE IN A SEAT UNTIL THE BELL RINGS

So what did we do yesterday? Go to Miss Fox’s website www.Foxenglish3.weebly.com Go to the “Sick Work” tab to see what you missed IMPORTANT: You have TWO days to make-up missed work. If you do not make-up the work within the two days you will get behind in both class work and homework assignments which will dramatically effect your grade. You have many resources to assist you so jump on it!

I truly believe in your potential and I know that you have the ability to succeed! Get ready for an awesome year! – Miss Fox
