Entering/Exiting the
Classroom
Entering the Classroom
• Have a seat at your desk and CHECK
THE ASSIGNMENT BOARD. There you’ll
find what we’re doing today.
• Copy your
homework/reminders/assignments
into your planner immediately.
• Begin your bellwork.
____________________________________
Exiting the classroom:
• Mrs. Casiday dismisses the class, not
the bell.
• Do not pack up unless you’ve been
given permission
• Exit in an orderly fashion WHEN you
have been dismissed.
Leaving during Class
• Only in an emergency! DO NOT
disrupt class.
• You are expected to use the
facilities and have all of your
materials prior to coming to class.
• In the event that you need to
leave the classroom, you must fill
out one of your yellow passes and
have it initialed by Mrs. Casiday.
• Once permission is given, it is
given ONLY for that specific
errand. Going anywhere/doing
anything else while away from the
classroom is considered skipping
class.
• When you return, QUIETLY return to
your seat.
• Mrs. Casiday reserves the right to
deny any request.
Turning in Work
• MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS
ON IT!!!
• Also, put your number, the
date, and your class period
on your paper
• Put it in your class drawer
• Class drawers are on the
back shelf, labeled with your
class period
• The first person to turn in their
paper should remove the
class drawer from the unit
and place it on top
• NEVER EVER EVER put papers
on Mrs. Casiday’s desk!!!!!!!
Appearance of Work
• All work should be
completed on loose-leaf
paper.
• If you must use spiral
paper, cut off the
“fringe” before turning in
work.
• All work must be neat
and legible.
• All work should be your
very best effort.
• If your work is sub-par,
Mrs. Casiday may return
it to you to be done
again. It will be
considered late.
Writing Utensils
• ALWAYS have something
to write with!
• You may use pencil, or
blue or black ink on any
assignments.
• If you must borrow a
writing utensil from Mrs.
Casiday, you must trade
collateral. (cell phone,
house key, lunch money)
• No funky colors, no glitter
ink, no markers, no
crayons, no colored
pencils, no lipstick or
eyeliner
Classroom Materials
• All materials located around the
room are for use IN this class. Do not
remove them from the room.
• If you use any of our classroom
materials, put them back where you
found them!
• If you use the last of something, or
realize as you use it that it is broken,
dispose of it properly.
• Markers, colored pencils, crayons,
and glue sticks are in the green
rolling cart by the computer table.
• Scissors, tape, and 3-hole punch are
in the first drawer to the left under
the counter.
• Dictionaries and thesauruses are in
the far left upper cabinet.
• Other various supplies are located in
the “tool kit” on the counter. The
drawers are labeled.
Visitors in the classroom
• If I stop what I am
doing to speak with our
visitor, you should
quietly read in your AR
book and stay in your
seats until the
conversation is finished.
• If I continue what I’m
doing, you continue
what you’re doing.
Guest Teachers
• In the event I am unable to
teach, and we have a guest
teacher instead, you are
expected to treat that teacher
with the UTMOST respect.
• You know our rules and
procedures, and I expect you to
follow them in full, whether I am
here or not.
• I ask every guest teacher to
leave very detailed notes for
me. I will address all notes, good
and bad, when I return.
• Classes who act in a respectful
way will be rewarded; classes
who do not meet my
expectations will be sorry.
Classroom Library
• You are welcome to look
though and borrow books
from our classroom library.
• The library is “OPEN” during
bell work, seat work, and
other individual times. The
library is “CLOSED” during
lecture and group work.
• If you find a book you’d like
to borrow, fill out the
LIBRARY LOG
• If there is a book you’d like
to see added to our
classroom library, fill out the
shopping list and I’ll see
what I can do!
Late Work
• Your work is LATE if it is not
turned in WHEN it is called for.
If you find it half-way through
class it’s late. If you bring it
back after class, it’s late. If
you bring it tomorrow it’s late.
• If you do not have the
requested assignment, you
must fill out a PINK SLIP
instead. Complete the top
portion and turn it in to your
class drawer.
• Your late assignment will be
returned with the bottom
portion of the Pink Slip
attached.
No Name Work
• Any work turned in without a
name will be graded, then
posted to the No Name
board.
• If you know you turned in an
assignment, but did not get
it back, check the No Name
board. If you find it, put your
name on it and TURN IT
BACK IN!
• If you do not turn it back in I
will never know to whom it
belonged and you will have
a zero on the assignment!
If You Are Absent
• Check the Assignment
Board to see what we
did while you were out.
• If there are any
handouts, check the
Make-Up Work boxes to
retrieve them.
• If we took a test or quiz,
immediately schedule a
make-up with me.
• If there was homework or
a project due the day
you were out,
immediately turn it in.
