DisciplineIf you do not have a planner yet, please

secure your schedule in your notebook.

How are you going home? Who doesn’t know their bus route number?

If not, give me your name so I can submit with the attendance.

Sign-Out ProceduresBefore you can leave a classroom, you must

sign out in the sign out book by the door.Look at the time on the watch and record the

exit timeRecord the location, period, and your nameWhen you return, sign in and record the time

If you are late to class, come in quietly, sign in on the log, and take your seat. Do not cause a disruption.

Restroom use is for in between classes. If there is an emergency, you will quietly sign out and leave. If at all possible, do not leave during instruction.

Traffic FlowTo help with congestion, do not congregate in

stairwells, on sidewalks, or in the hallways. Remember to walk to the right down halls

and up/down the stairs. Get to class on time. The first 5 minutes is

the most important, as it sets up the rest of the class period.

Dismissal ProceduresStudents are dismissed by the teacher, NOT

the bell. When the bell rings, I will check supplies,

materials, and desks, and each group will be dismissed.

Do not pack up early unless instructed to do so.
