What are you supposed to do upon arrival to class?

What should you be doing when someone else is talking?

What should you do if you need to leave your seat, go to the restroom, sharpen your pencil, or leave the room?

Review of Rules & Procedures

Strike One is your first and only warning for the day. If I say you have one strike, stop what you are doing and read over the class rules. Figure out what rule you are breaking and adjust your behavior.

Explanation of terms

If I say that you have a two strikes in the same day, you will (at a minimum) need to stay after class to discuss what you’ve done. The maximum penalty for two strikes is being sent out of the room with an administrator.

Explanation of terms

Just like in the game of baseball, 3 strikes and your out. Strike 3 is for gross defiance of the rules. In this class, I won’t strike anyone out without a warning. If something happens that would deserve a strike 3, I will call an administrator into the class.
