Be on time for class.
Please wait until I am at the door to greet you before you enter.
Be seated and begin the bellringer as soon as you enter the classroom.
Make only positive comments.
Raise your hand to answer or ask questions.
Label papers with full name, class period, and date.
Turn in assignments on time in the maroon turn-in trays.
Maintain cleanliness and organization of the classroom supplies and books.
If finished with an assignment or activity early, please read silently until further
instructions are given.
10. If absent, be sure to check with me about make-up work. It is your responsibility
to get missed work or complete a missed reading.
11. Only emergency trips to the restroom will be allowed during class.
Consequences:
Flex time fun time: One day per week, each grade will be rewarded with a free flex period.
Students who have received a demerit for the following behaviors will not be allowed this free
period.
• Unprepared for class

• Disruptive behavior
• Incomplete or missing assignment
• Not following teacher directions
• Cell Phone/other technology violation

In addition, cell phones being misused during class time will be sent to the office, with discipline
at the discretion of Mrs. Arant. Also, multiple tardies will result in parent contact, extra
assignments, and write-ups. For more information, please see the Carlisle County Behavior Code
book.

zippered pouch with pencils, pens, highlighter, and sticky notes. Please replenish
supplies as the year goes by. 8th graders also need index cards and a zip drive.
