Tutorials
Tutoring is available Tuesday through
Thursday until 3:15. You must be in
the room by 2:40 to attend.
It is your responsibility to attend if you
feel it is necessary to succeed.
Assigned Seats
• Necessary for accurate attendance and to help
teacher learn students names.
• Helps maintain an orderly classroom
environment.
• Easier to group for labs and to issue
equipment.
• Some seating is mandatory to meet legal
requirements.
• Seats will be changed periodically.
Tardies
• We will follow the school tardy policy
(referral every 3rd tardy).
• You should be in your assigned seat when
the tardy bell sounds.
• If you arrive later than 5 minutes, or if it is
otherwise obvious you are not making an
attempt to arrive on time, you will receive
an office referral for non-compliance,
regardless of tardy number.
• 15 minutes late is considered truant.
Rest Room Policy
• Only one person is allowed out of the room at a time;
you must take the restroom pass.
• Restroom pass use is only permitted 10 minutes after
the start of class, and is not permitted within 5
minutes of the end of class.
• A restroom pass does not excuse a tardy.
• Restroom use should take approximately 5 minutes;
you must use the restroom in this hall (by the
computer lab room 431). If you use another restroom,
you are subject to a referral for being out of area.
• Excessive requests to use the restroom pass could
result in a conduct grade of ‘N’.
Personal business (dropping off
forms, buying parking tags, etc)
must be taken care of on your
own time (before or after
school, between classes, at
lunch). Please do not ask to
leave class for these purposes.
For safety and to reduce
distractions, table tops
should be kept clear of
all backpacks and
personal items.
For safety, all students
should remain seated
until the their work has
been checked and the
dismissal bell sounds.
No food or drink
is allowed in
class, including
water.
No cell phone use
during class ($15). If I
see it or hear it, I must
confiscate it (school
board policy). No
warnings!
Safety
Safety Poster
• With your table partner, you will create a safety
poster about your assigned safety rule.
• The poster should help the viewer understand the
rule and its importance.
• The poster must have at least 4 colors (not
counting black and white).
• The poster may or may not have a
picture/drawing.
• Be prepared to share your poster with the class.
