Talking: Please don’t speak over me, around
me, or through me. This drives me crazy!
Listen to instruction so I don’t repeat things a
thousand times.
Organization: This is a GISD classroom. The
equipment, tables, chairs, etc. all belong to
GISD. If you break it, your parents buy it!
BE PREPARED: Bring your supplies to class.
Your classmates are not always going to
provide YOU with supplies.

Be punctual/on
time
◦ I will open my door
to allow everyone
in the room, but
once the door
closes it will LOCK!
Meaning if you
have to knock,
your late!

Be Respectful to others
and classroom
equipment!
◦ If I deem you were
disrespectful to another
student including calling
them names, fighting,
etc. I will send you to
the office.
◦ Respect also includes
the classroom
equipment. DO NOT
write on the
desks/tables or cause
damage to any
equipment. That will
automatically get you
sent to the office!
RESPECT!
I am a huge proponent of RESPECT! I will
expect to be treated with respect by you and
in return I will treat you with respect. Good
rule for you to remember, it’s best to
respond with a “yes sir” or “no sir.”
The following are ways to disrespect me:
•
Call me “Dude, Bro, Man.”
•
Raising your voice at me.
•
Lie to me! I will catch you!

THIS WON’T BE AN ISSUE, BUT IF IT IS HERE IS
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT…
Issue you a warning (Get back on task, the
stare, friendly reminders)
Remove you from class (sit outside in the
hall)
THE BOOK and contact parents
After you have signed the book if we still
have issues, you will go to the office.
When you go to the office, its out of my
hands.
Please when you
first enter the
classroom look
at the board for
class schedule
and lessons for
the day.
 I will have the
daily lesson and
activities posted
each day.



Also, when you
complete an
assignment please
turn it in to the
class tray marked
with your class
period.
Often times if I
can’t find your
assignment it is
due to you turning
it in to the wrong
class period tray.



When you enter my room,
you need to check the side
table for a warm up
activity. There may not be
one there every day but
most of the time there will
be.
Come prepared. I am not a
Wal-Mart. I will not supply
you with materials such as
pencils and erasers.
Once you have checked for
a warm-up, you need to
sit down and work quietly
until the lesson starts.

If class starts on

very few instances
where we can’t
finish our work.

If you failed an assignment, quiz, or test there will be chances to
increase your grade.
Regular credit vs. Extra Credit (taking zeros often and asking for
extra credit
EXTRA CREDIT.
◦ Extra credit assignments can replace an assignment grade
completely.
◦ Extra credit turned in for a quiz or test will add points to your
grade up to a 70.


First and foremost do your best not to be late
with any assignments!
If you are late here is my policy…

day late= 10 points off (Highest grade= 90)
days late= 20 points off (Highest grade= 80)

days or more= 0
◦ I will help remind you about your late work but it is
your responsibility to get all assignments turned in.

If you are sick at any time during the year here is
my policy regarding getting make-up work
turned in.
Sick for 1 day= You have 1 extra day
Sick 2 days= 2 Extra Days
Sick 3 days= 3 days
I will have all previous assignments stored in a
folder but the student is responsible for
collecting all make-up work.
If you miss a test or quiz, you will be expected to
make those up in the same time frame
assignments would be due.
You have 4 minutes
between classes so use
that time wisely.
I will judge if it’s a true
emergency.


We will use technology in the classroom
periodically, when its appropriate.
Don’t let me catch you using your phone in
class without my permission. I WILL TAKE IT!
