Mrs. Martin’s Classroom Procedures
 Entering Class
 Enter class only when I am at the door ready to greet you.
 Pick up any returned work or handouts.
 Pick up your assigned calculator and a textbook at the back of the class. There are only enough
textbooks for you to share.
 If you come in late do so quietly and get started on what we are doing.
 Getting Supplies ready
 Do this before the class bell rings.
 If you must do this in class, do not do so when someone is addressing the whole class.
 You may borrow only a wooden pencil off of my desk.
 Once the bell rings, I expect that you are in your seat quiet waiting for instructions.
 Asking Questions
 If you have a question while I am talking, raise your hand and wait patiently to be called on.
 If a student is asking a question and you have one also, wait until he or she is done speaking and I have
answered him or her, to raise your hand.
 If you have raised your hand, and I have not seen it yet, you may say “Mrs. Martin” to get my
attention.
 Going to the Bathroom
 Not during the first or last 10 minutes of class, then at teacher discretion.
 I do not allow students to go while I am giving direct instruction.
 End of Class
 Do not pack up until I say so. This helps avoid not hearing important reminders.
 Pick up the room for the next class.
 The last person out needs to close the door.
 If the bell has not rung, students should return to their seats after putting away supplies. There is no
need to line up at the door.
 Turning in Papers
 Name, date, and class period clearly written at the top right of your page.
 If you have multiple sheets, then they should be neatly stacked, in order, and stapled together in the top
left hand corner.
 There should be no fringes on the paper.
 Working in groups
 Only speak to your group member and only talk about the task at hand, equally sharing the work
 Use your notes and previous corrected class work or homework to help you unless told otherwise
 If someone enters our room during class:
 Stay on task.
 Be respectful to the visitor
 If the door is locked, the student in the seat closest to the door will open it.
 Announcements/Intercom
 If someone is speaking you need to be quiet so that we/I can listen.
 You should act as though the speaker were in the room
 Test/Quiz Time
 There is no communication of any kind (verbal or non-verbal) among students while any assignments
remain out.
 These should be taken seriously and your best effort should be put forth
 During tests, all backpacks, purses, and phones will be at the front of the room.
 If you have your phone on you (at your desk, in your pocket, ect) during a test, this will be seen as an
attempt to cheat and you will receive a zero for the exam.
 When accepting consequences
 Do not moan or complain.
 Accept the consequences of your actions and apologize to the wronged parties.
 If you feel you have been wrongly accused, please ask to talk to me after class.
 Emergency Drills
 Treat this as if it were an actual emergency.
 Silently listen to me for exist instructions.
 Electronic Devices
 This room is a red zone. Devices should be on silent and put away unless given specific permission
from me.
 You may ask to charge your phone, but you should leave it alone during class.
 If given permission to use your phone, you should only be using it for the classroom related task.
 If using electronic devices in anyway, not expressly permitted by me, disciplinary actions will take
place and parents will be contacted.
