Procedures of Spanish Class
Entering the Classroom:
 Enter quietly and sit in your assigned seat.

and notebook.

receive a teacher detention. If you continue to be late after receiving a teacher detention, you will
be written up to your respective Vice Principal for each instance. Please remember, the start of
each marking period is a new beginning.
Exiting the Classroom:
 If you do not have your agenda book, you do not leave the room.
 If you need to use the lavatory, go to guidance, nurse or main office or your locker, you should
try to do that during the time between classes. However, if this is not possible, reserve these
trips for the beginning or end of class rather than interrupting class time instruction and/or
activities.
 If you do exit the classroom in the beginning of class, it is your responsibility to put your HW
on your desk and complete the warm-up. If not, you will receive a zero for those activities.
 If you leave your homework, class work, pen or pencil, binder, folder and/or notebook in your
locker you will not be given an opportunity to go back to your locker.
 The bell does not dismiss you. I will dismiss you. When the class is seated and quiet, I will let
you know that you are all dismissed.
Tests and Quizzes
