When the teacher or another student is talking, stop what you are doing and listen Help others whenever possible. Ask for help if you need it! Be respectful and kind to your classmates, both in word and action and you should receive the same respect in return

13. If you know you are going to be absent, let me know ahead of time or the day after with permission forms or a NOTE IN YOUR PLANNER! If you are sick or away for some other reason, you MUST bring a note IN YOUR PLANNER that is signed and dated by a parent or guardian with a phone number If you miss class and do not bring a note, we will be following the consequences set up by the school listed IN YOUR PLANNER You are responsible for the work missed during your absence, so take the responsibility to get the assignment from a fellow student or teacher. Assignments during excused absences will be given time to complete Assignments during unexcused absences will be given a ZERO

15. You are on time if you are in your seat, ready to work when the bell starts (YOUR BOOKS ARE NOT YOU!!!) Late students are to be quiet and respectful of the class when entering Sign in at the door and fill out paper Each late documented will have a consequence attached to it. More Unexcused Lates = more severe consequence (ie. Longer DT’s) –SEE YOUR PLANNER – Page iii If you have an excused absence, a note is required IN YOUR PLANNER. You do not have to sign in at the door or fill in the sheet.

You will be receiving many pieces of paper that you will have to access at different times. Coming prepared to class is common sense and if you cannot adhere to this, a consultation with you, Mr.Letourneau and a parent will be arranged.
