19. Three Rules for Success Respect teachers and peers. This means to stay seated and be quiet when the teacher is teaching, and be a courteous listener to your peers. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself. Speak positively of yourself and others. Have your cell phone turned off and kept in your backpack. Come to school prepared and ready to work. This means bring daily materials needed to be successful. Bring completed work each day. Keep your binder, papers, and agenda organized. Listen and follow directions. Work quietly. Take care of the classroom and school. This means to clean up after yourself in the classroom and out at break and lunch. Clean table tops and floor of any trash before you leave an area. Keep gum at home.
