Class Expectations
Students are expected to abide by the Livingston Public Schools 2015-2016
Student/Parent Handbook rules and attendance policy. Attendance in this class is
necessary and part of the school requirement to receive credit. I will be adhering to the
Livingston Public Schools policy by notifying parents of any excessive absences
throughout the school year. Students are expected to adhere to these guidelines to receive
credit for this course.
The following classroom expectations have been established to maintain the highest level
of learning experience for each student:
1. Students will be in their assigned seats when the bell rings and stay seated until
released (not when the bell rings).
2. Be prepared for each class and bring a pen or pencil, notebook with paper, and
any teacher requested materials.
3. Be respectful to everyone in the class. Refrain from “calling out”, “talking” out
of turn and interrupting the classroom lesson.
4. Follow directions the first time they are given.
5. Sign in/out when leaving the classroom to go to another destination AFTER
getting permission to leave the room.
6. Cell phones and other electronic devices ARE NOT allowed during class. Cell
phones must be put away and not left charging in the classroom.
