Class Policies:
Bathroom: Students should use the restroom before or after class. Only in case of emergencies will students be permitted to use the restroom during class. If it is an emergency, we will use the 7th grade bathrooms and students should take the hall pass.
Agendas: Students will be responsible for maintaining their agendas on a daily basis. I will keep homework assignments written on the board in a designated area. Students are responsible for getting their agendas signed nightly and lack of a signature will earn the student a silent lunch.
Appropriate Behavior: We will follow the behavior plan, CARS:
C-Caring
A-Attentive
R-Respectful
S-Studious
By this point, 7th graders should know what is expected of them and high expectations will be set in my classroom.
Student Work: Students will keep their tests, quizzes, and other work in their folders in their class' crate. Homework should be turned in on time- late homework assignments will not be accepted.
