School Rulez
When are you allowed to be upstairs in the morning?
When the bell rings at 8:45am
True or False: Ms. Baillie gives you marks and comments because she just likes writing a lot of stuff on paper
FALSE! When I give you marks or comments, KEEP THEM! They are supposed to help you!
Who do you have to give your registration forms back to?
ME! Ms. Baillie! Your homeroom teacher!
DO OR DON'T: Leave out someone you are sitting with during a class discussion just because you don't normally talk to them
DON'T! Everyone should be able to participate in every part of class, don't be the reason someone doesn't get to
What do you need to do if you arrive late to school for any reason?
Sign in at the office! They need to adjust your attendance.
True or False: Ms. Baillie will NEVER let you eat food in her classroom.
FALSE: If we are in a food lab? Yes! If you need to finish a snack? Yes! Any other time? NO!
When you come to school in the morning, when should you arrive in homeroom?
Right away! You should be in this room before announcements (I will mark you as absent if you're not and are not excused)
DO OR DON'T: Speak for yourself and your own opinion, no one else's
DO! You can only speak on your own experiences or ideas. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it.
What do you do when it is an indoor lunch?
Stay in the cafeteria the entire time
When you leave Ms. Baillie's class to go to the washroom or get a drink, what do you have to do?
Sign out AND sign back in! Write your name, the time you leave, and the time you get back
IN THIS CLASSROOM! Nowhere else!
DO OR DON'T: Leave trash on the ground or in a desk just because you didn't put it there
DON'T! This is a shared space and we all need to take care of it. Let Ms. Baillie know if there is always trash somewhere, but help out when you can.
True or False: You cannot walk through the downstairs hallways during break/lunch.
TRUE! Only use the main stairwell and the one across from Mr. Hollis' class, don't walk through the downstairs hallway.
True or False: Ms. Baillie will plug in your Chromebook for you if you don't
FALSE! I WILL NEVER! THAT'S ON YOU!
NOPE! You have a locker for a reason. I will put any backpacks, binders, or other stuff left in my classroom without permission into the hallway.
DO OR DON'T: Get up and talk to your friend at another table group because they need help
DON'T! Your friend should be able to ask Ms. Baillie or someone else they are sitting with. You do not need to get up and visit them.

I teach 5 classes: Grade 7 Social Studies, Grade 7 Textiles, Grade 8 Social Studies, Grade 8 Food, Grade 8 Art
What happens at the end of the day on Fridays in Ms. Baillie's homeroom?
If you help clean up the classroom on Fridays you will get to choose from the prize bin! But ONLY if you actually help (sweep, clean out a desk, throw out garbage, check the Chromebook cart, etc.)
DO OR DON'T: Ask your teachers what you missed when you were absent from class.
DO! It helps both of us when you do this
