I go to the adults that are in charge outside. Please do not wait until you come inside to tell the adult. There is nothing they can do because they were not outside in the first place.

You notice that a classmate is in the restroom with you and is not doing the right thing, what do you do next?
Tell your classmate, politely, to stop what they are doing because it is either not safe, not respectful, or not showing integrity. If they do not, then you should tell an adult so they can have a conservation with the other student.
I have eaten my lunch in the cafeteria, where do I go?
After lunch I need to WALK back to our hallway, if I have a lunch box I may drop it off at my locker, get on what I need to go outside, and WALK to the recess doors for lunch recess. You should NOT be in the EL center unless your teacher has given your permission to do so.

Base camp, loss of privileges, escorted to certain places by an adult, or Mr. Fortier's office (depends on how sereve the action is.)
You have a guest teacher, how do I act?
When a guest teacher is in the classroom you should act as if they are your teacher. Using integrity and compassion if they do not know certain routines we do. If the guest teacher reports back with negative behaviors there could be potential consequences.
