What if I’m absent When you are absent, you are responsible for getting the work you missed and completing it. You can get absent work from folders in the classrooms. If is due the following day. You may choose to go to Opportunity Room to finish the work instead of taking it home.

Finishing Work Early If you happen to finish your work before others, DO NOT DISTURB THEM! You may work on other work that needs to be completed. You may read AR or take an AR test

Classroom Community Be courteous. Words of gratitude go a long way and they are an important part of working together. When the intercom comes on, stop talking. Encourage each other when others are celebrated. Help each other to follow the rules because then everybody wins.

Classroom Community If I am not in the classroom, keep working as though I’m standing right next to you. Teasing, making fun of others, and being mean is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
