WHAT ARE THE RULES IN THIS CLASSROOM?

1. Respect: Others, Self, Property.

2. Honesty: We all make mistakes! I will be honest with you, and take responsibility for my mistakes. Please be honest with me, so you can avoid referrals!

3. Follow school rules as outlined in the Major and Minor System (see rule #1).

Remember that violations happen in degrees. I DO NOT assign major referrals, but students that are sent to the office from my classroom for rule violations are always at risk of a major referral..

Keep a positive Attitude:• Never say “I can’t,” because you can! (I will never

ask you to do anything you cannot do.)• Take responsibility for your own actions. • Remember—when life gets tough, the tough get

going. If you are really struggling with a problem that your friends or teachers can’t help you with, it IS okay to ask to talk to counselor about how to get through it!

• Leave your cell phone in your locker—the only one you hurt by using it in class is yourself.

RESPECT SELF

• Recognize personal space: some people need more, some need less.

• Remember that no means no!• Keep your hands to yourself.• Think before you speak—it is

easier to stay silent than to try to take back harsh words.

RESPECT OTHERS

• Don’t write on, or otherwise deface, the desks or walls in my classroom, or anywhere else in the school.

• You may not write on, or erase, white boards unless I ask you to for a class activity. Don’t take things that don’t belong to you.

• Don’t touch or borrow things from Mrs. Yee’s or Mrs. G’s desks.

• Throw your trash in the trash can, and be sure to clean up after yourself.

RESPECT PROPERTY
