School Procedures
When can you wear a hat?
Before the first bell (8:25 am) and after the last bell of the day (3:40, 1:35, 3:35).
What are our 3 classroom rules and where can I find them?
1. Respect yourself, peers, teachers, and surroundings. 2. Come to class prepared. 3. Follow directions quickly the first time given.
Above the SmartBoard!
Where and when do you sharpen your pencil? Where do you find class or homework if you were absent?
During independent work time at the pencil sharpening station.
On the back board!
What happens if you come to class without a pencil, notebook, or materials you need?
Borrow a pencil, use a piece of paper that day instead of a notebook, improvise and then get on track after class!
DON'T freak out and make it a big issue. DO get organized and try not to make a habit of it.
Where are you allowed to be during Titan Time & Lunch?
In the MPR or triangle.
Is it ever okay not to try?
No! I expect that you show up everyday and try your best.
How do I know what day it is, what we're doing that day, and when we're going to lunch?
On the board!!!!!!
How long after an assignment is due can you turn it in?
One week! If you are SICK, you can have an extra day for everyday you are ILL. SPORTS ABSENCES DO NOT APPLY!
When is teacher access time? Why would you use it?
Tuesday & Thursday mornings from 7:50 - 8:20.
You have an absence coming up or recently missed class, you need help with homework or classwork, you love your teacher and want to bring her an americano with vanilla and cream from Camp4.
Are all of the materials in this classroom for you to play with, use at your disposal, and treat like your own?
No! Some materials are for student use, some are for teacher use, and some are just to look at. Practice self control and respect for your surroundings!!!!
What can you do when you are done with your classwork?
Read, homework from this or another class, draw/color, fast finisher activities. PLAYING ON YOUR CHROMEBOOK IS NOT AN OPTION.
NO! Opening your locker with violence will send you straight to the office and earn you a referral.
What should you do if you're having a really bad day, friend issues, or an extreme scheduling issue?
Talk to Ms. Stacie before or after school, at Titan Time, or Lunch!
What should your space look like at the start and end of class?
When you walk into the classroom you should do these 3 things to start the day...
Enter calmly, have your notebook & pencil, follow directions on the board to complete the warm up
What happens if you are found to have your phone or smartwatch with you in class?
It gets taken away in class and delivered to the office right after.
How do you communicate to your teachers about an absence and how do you stay caught up from that absence?
If it's planned, email your teacher beforehand so you know what you're missing and make a plan to get it done (teacher access, afterschool tutoring, etc.). YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT WORK EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE GONE. Unfortunately, class doesn't stop when you're missing.
If it's unplanned, email your teacher the day of to communicate what's going on. Make a plan to get caught up when you're back (teacher access, afterschool tutoring, etc.) or do work at home if possible.
How should you act if you are paired with or seated next to someone who you don't particularly like or are not friends with?
With respect and kindness! EVERYONE deserves a safe learning environment and I expect you to help create that.
Where does the classroom and subsequent expectations begin?
What happens when you are physically violent, threatening, or use profanity?
STRAIGHT TO THE OFFICE AND A REFERRAL!!!!!
There is a ZERO tolerance policy in this class and school for any semblance of violence physically or verbally.
