RESTROOM All students will have the opportunity to go to the restroom during

passing periods.

If you go to the restroom during a rotation, DIY time or project time,

YOU MUST SIGN THE RESTROOM LOG ON THE DOORS OF

EACH RESTROOM.

DURING ROTATIONS, DO NOT ASK TO GO TO

THE RESTROOM UNLESS IT IS AN

EMERGENCY.

HALL PASSES

- If you need to go to another iSTEAM area or out of iSTEAM for

any reason, you MUST HAVE AN iSTEAM TEACHER PASS.

- Each teacher has a different colored pass.

- NO PASS=NO ENTRY

TARDY:- If you are tardy, you MUST sign the tardy log located

at the iSTEAM student entrance.

JOURNALS

Each iSTEAM student is required to get a

composition book for History.

Every DT/DIY day, you will use your journal to

record warmups, take notes, complete DIYs,

paste in organizers and other helpful strategies

Journals are to be turned in to the GREEN

BINS located to the top of the binder shelf.

JOURNALS

JOURNALS MUST STAY IN THEIR DESIGNATED BIN

AND CANNOT BE TAKEN HOME UNLESS THEY ARE

CHECKED OUT TO STUDY.

YOU MUST CHECK IT BACK IN THE FOLLOWING

SCHOOL DAY!

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR

JOURNAL AND PLACE IT IN THE PROPER PLACE

IF IT IS LOST, IT IS ALSO YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

TO RE-DO ALL PREVIOUS PAGES IN YOUR JOURNAL!

DIYS AND GRADES

I will grade journals weekly to make sure that all

DIYs and notes are taken.

If there is an assignment that is not given in your

notebook, it must be turned in to the GREEN AND

WHITE trays by the printer.

DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING IN MY HANDS!

PROJECT GRADES

Each group will be given a rubric for the history

portion of every project.

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR READ THE RUBRIC AT

LEAST 3 TIMES TO GAIN UNDERSTANDING

IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ANY PORTION

OF THE PROJECT, DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST

MINUTE TO ASK.

QUOTES:

LOOK UP!

Yesterday is history, Tomorrows a mystery, and

Today is a gift. That’s why its called the present!

Open up the gift and embrace the opportunity to

SHINE TODAY!
