Room 226

Classroom Rules

• Enter the room quietly and go to your assigned seat. Get started on the daily blog assignment. You will have 10-15 minutes to do this work before we move on to the daily lesson.

• Be prepared: bring a pen or pencil and a notebook. A two-pocket notebook with fasteners will be fine. You should also bring a thumb/flash drive to save documents.

• No food, drink, or gum. Let’s keep this new building nice!

• If you need to use the bathroom, sign out in the book and get a pass, and sign back in when you return. Only one person at a time can be out of the room. Don't interrupt the teacher while he is giving instructions to ask for a bathroom pass

Classroom Rules — Computer Use

• Take care of the computers.

• Report any issues at your workstation.

• Avoid kicking wires. Don't pull out any chords.

• Only go the educational websites that the class is working on.

• Only print what is required for class: no personal printing

Classroom Rules — Be Respectful

• Do not talk while the teacher is talking or giving directions.

• Do not talk while your classmates are contributing to the class.

• Always raise your hand before asking a question or participating in discussion.

• Do not leave your seat or act up in any way while the teacher is helping an individual student and not looking at you.

• Do not roll away from your workstation or spin in the chairs.

• Keep your hands to yourself.

Classroom Rules — Disruptive Behavior

• Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. After trying non-verbal and then verbal warnings during class, you get three strikes: first, a brief verbal warning after class; second, a call home to your parent or guardian. On the third strike you’ll get after school detention. If the same disruptive behavior persists, you'll be sent to the office.

• If you are removed from the room, you will have to make up any work you missed after school or earn no credit for the day.
