2. During class period
Listen attentively to what is being taught. While I am teaching sound level should be 0 (mute).
Follow along with notes and participate in class discussions. When class discussions are taking
place, the sound level should never rise above a 3.
3. Before bell rings
Work on homework assignments until the teacher has instructed otherwise.
When instructed, the students may get their backpacks and purses.
Students will remain in their seats until the bell rings.
Sound level should not rise above a 1-2.
III. Miscellaneous
Bathroom and Drinks
You will be given three bathroom/drink passes per semester. Use them wisely as you will not
receive more-once they’re gone…
Late homework assignments and make-up quizzes
Homework is due at the beginning of class. If you hand it in at the end of class, it is considered
late. Each week there will be a list of Last Chance Assignments and those assignments listed have to
be handed in by the Friday of that week. If an assignment or quiz is not turned in by the last chance
Friday, then it will become a permanent zero.
Food and drink in the classroom
Water is the only allowed drink in class. Sodas, Gatorade, slushies, etc. will not be allowed. If
you have one from lunch or passing periods, it will need to be placed in your backpack for the class
period. Food is also prohibited in the classroom. This is a lab class and there are nasty things in this
room… On occasion, there may be reward days where food and drinks are allowed, but you will be
notified when these day occur.
