If I don't have a grade for an assignment, but I know I turned it in what should I do?
Look in the NO NAME bucket. Also, double check your folder/backpack, just in case it may still be in there and you thought you turned it in.
When should you charge your laptop?
EVERY NIGHT! ( at least 7-8 hours a night to last all day)

How can we earn negatives? ( Nothing with behavior)
Not having earbuds/headphones when needed, not having a laptop charged, and not having homework.
If I don't turn in an assignment on the day it is due, what happens?
When should I sharpen my pencil?
Only the table captains should be sharpening pencils. This should be done, only if there aren't anymore pencils in the bucket, and only if there aren't any sharpened ones in the blue box. NEVER WHEN INSTRUCTION IS HAPPENING
How do we treat special area and elective teachers?
LIKE TEACHERS! They are PUSD employees and your behavior should not be any different than how you act in Ms. Barnes' HR or Mrs. Christensen's HR.
How do we answer a question or share information in class during discussions?
Raise our hand, wait to be called on, follow directions, or speak quietly if in groups or working with a partner. We could also allow for the Ping Pong process to happen.
When can we use the restroom in class?
If instruction is NOT happening! You should be using it before 8:30, at lunch, at 2:55 recess, and after school. Four times a day in a 7 hour period should be plenty of time! If you need to go more than that, I will need a doctor's notice!
Where do assignments go when they need to be turned in?
There are 2 trays for SS and 2 for ELA. Ms. Barnes' HR goes in the BARNES SS and ELA trays and Mrs. Christensen's HR goes in her trays.
Assignments never go on the teacher's desk- unless it is WIN time and I am collecting late or make-up assignments for Ms. Barnes.
We WALK- we DO NOT RUN
How do we show MAGIC in the library?
Following directions, using library voices when Ms. Shatto allows for it, staying on recommended sites on your laptops, checking out books, READING those books. It is not free time in the library, but a CLASS.
What do you do when you are given directions by Mrs. Christensen?
FOLLOW THEM- if you are confused, raise your hand to ask for clarification, or even ask a partner at your table before getting up from your seat.
How can we get a positive?
Being a MAGIC student, following rules of MR or the classroom, being prepared each day for class.
If I am absent, what is the procedure?
To go and look in the "Absent Bin". My papers will be under my Number and they should have my name on all of them.
What should I do if I have to leave the room to go to the restroom?
DO YOUR BUSINESS and come straight back. Do not take anything (pencils/markers/pens/etc.) with you.
True or False. Your laptop is an important tool that is for learning/research only.
TRUE- you should not be on a website that is not being assigned. All Chromebooks are PUSD property. That means, the district can see ALL of your history and consequences will be given to those not using it appropriately. Use your home computers/laptops for your personal use. No pictures should be on the laptops- except for Alpha use.
What do we NOT do when a student is speaking or sharing information with the class with Mrs. Christensen's permission?
DO NOT PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN- DO NOT DRAW/DOODLE- DO NOT READ A BOOK- DO NOT HAVE A PRIVATE CONVERSATION WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR- DO NOT PLAY WITH ANY OBJECT ON YOUR DESK OR IN YOUR HAND
What is our daily/nightly homework? ( Must have 2 answers)
Double-sided WLR AND CHARGE YOUR LAPTOP?
Since all teachers are now on a copy count in the front office, will teachers be able to make multiple copies of papers that go missing????? If not, what should YOU do?
NO, since teachers only get a certain limit of copies, YOU need to be responsible and keep your papers in your correct subject folder, so it doesn't become the teachers' problem.
What do you do if someone is repeatedly not being nice to you (bullying) or making you feel uncomfortable?
Talk to an adult ASAP! If you don't feel comfortable talking to Ms. Barnes or myself, Mr. Rivas or Mr. Chagolla are great alternatives! Do not wait for days/weeks to pass before telling someone.
How should we treat substitutes?
Substitutes are district employees, not just a random person in the classroom. They have the right to be treated with RESPECT and your job is to listen and follow their directions. It is not a free day to forget all school/classroom rules.
