BEGINNING OF CLASS



Make sure you have all necessary materials for the
class. You are to enter the classroom without
screaming, running or otherwise causing a
ruckus. Students who do not do this will be asked to
leave the room and reenter as expected.
Attendance Sticks- pick your stick and place it in the
‘I’m Here’ tin. This should be done by the time class
begins. Otherwise you will be considered tardy.
You should then get anything you need around
the room (folder, pencil sharpening, tissue,
etc.). Once seated, check the whiteboard or projector
for the day’s bellwork or assignment. You can also use
this time to briefly speak with me.
BELLWORK
Everyday check for bellwork or instructions. You
will find the bellwork on the whiteboard or
projector. Bellwork should be started as the
tardy bell rings. Most bellwork will involve
answering a question or completing a sentence.
Sometimes there will be instructions for your to
follow to get prepared for that days class.
 Bellwork is required and will be checked
periodically.

TARDIES AND LATE ARRIVALS

A student who is not in the classroom by the
beginning of class, is considered either late or

no penalty for arriving late with a pass.

what you missed when absent.

should arrive early to class and ask fellow

Always get the bell work that you missed.
If you still have further questions ask me before
class OR see me before school.
 Write the word ‘absent’ across the top of any
work you are turning in late due to an absence,
otherwise, I will assume the paper is late and
late work consequences will apply.

MAKE-UP TEST

If you have an excused absence for a test day you
will have to arrange for a make-up test (either
before or after school). You will have one week,
beginning the date you return to make-up the
